GPS Drawing

In the last couple of weeks of IDAT 106 the focus of the work has been creating GPS drawings. We were told to design an image that could be drawn using GPS within the space of the university and then go out and map it using GPS devices. To design my image I printed off a map of the university from above, and tried to find a path using the paths around the uni that would draw an image. Eventually I decided on a design as follows:




This design shows the letters GPS written out with the pen that drew it following. I decided to use this as it was possible to draw using the paths around the university and also it was relevant to the work that we were doing.
I then tracked this using GPS and got the following result:



This is slightly difficult to see as lines, but with the original design overlayed on top it is more easy to see how the result relates to the image.
I am happy with this GPS image and so will keep it to use with my hertzian space diagram and also the images and narrative which will be produced in the next fews weeks.
