Quote:What do you mean by using GIS?Um... exactly what I mean... GIS or to be precise geographic information system is being used for the purpose that I require it for the job in hand.
In this case I am locating sites with GPS and plotting them (with meta data) onto a georeferenced raster base map (both OS and Sat Image. The whole is linked to an access database of sites.
It allows me to start building up a pattern of information.
starting with sheep enclosures and polygons of rigs.. plus tracks and settlements just like I did in Croatia and Jordan. I use QGIS... I have used ArcGIS when I was doing work on SMRs ... but... hey QGIS is free and as powerful as you need it to be!
I should have said though... as far as I am concerned, GIS is a tool, hence my ability to 'use' it.
