Mapping: Training Classes

 

Let Seiler help you better understand how to make your Mapping system meet your specific goals. While all units come with documentation (print or digital) and some on-line resources, your learning experience can be greatly enhanced by personal attention to your needs. We maintain a staff of well-qualified trainers. Our trainers do not simply read from a manual and used “canned” data. Instead, they learn of your application and apply specific examples that you can relate to.

Training Image Benefits of Training:
  • Get started using your equipment right away
  • Prevent costly re-visits to collect and process data due to improper techniques
  • Ensure accuracy and efficiency in the field and in the office
  • Get hands-on experience before you embark on your project
  • Custom class allows instructor to use your data for more effective field projects
   

CLASS DETAILS: Training can be performed at the customer’s facility or at a Seiler training facility (St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Indianapolis). Locate your office using our Office Locator.  If at the customer’s facility, instructor travel costs may be assessed, depending on the location.  Customer will supply one GPS unit for the training.  Seiler will supply up to two additional units to ensure that there are no more than two students per GPS units.  Seiler will provide lunch for all attendees if the training is at a Seiler facility.  Special rates apply to those who buy training with a technical support agreement or on their original order with their equipment.  Contact your Mapping Sales Representative for more information.

Training Image TerraSync / Pathfinder Office
TOPICS:  GPS Basics, GPS Accuracy, GPS Mission Planning, , GPS equipment set-up, Data Collection, Data Transfer, Differential Correction, Editing GPS data, Export to GIS, Import from a GIS, GPS Navigation, Data Update, Background Files.  Topics can be customized to focus on just the field worker or the office set-up and processing.  An orientation guide will be provided to all students.  This will be provided in a digital form (PDF).

LENGTH: One day of training is usually sufficient for TerraSync training for someone already familiar with GPS or GIS.  However, two-days will allow a more relaxed pace and more time to focus on additional topics such as data maintenance, laser rangefinders, cameras, or more time for those using a subfoot device (GeoXH, ProXH).

TOPICS: GPS Accuracy, GPS Basics, GIS/Geodatabase fundamentals, Creating a simple geodatabase, Preparing data for ArcPad, Sending data to ArcPad, GPS equipment set-up, Field data collection techniques, GPS data processing, Validation and Rebuilding, GPS Navigation, Data Update, Background Files. Topics can be customized to focus on just the field worker or the office set-up and processing. Comprehensive training manuals are available for $150 each.

LENGTH:  Two-days of training is usually necessary for ArcPad.  Those already familiar with ArcGIS may be able to grasp the topics in one day but we have found that the majority of students who take a one-day ArcPad course give feedback stating they believe that it should be a two-day course.  A two-day course is especially recommended for ArcPad users who are using a sub-foot device (GeoXH, ProXH) or wish to go over data maintenance procedures.
