Abstract

The purpose of this article is use GPS(Global Positioning System) equipment to applying in GIS teaching. To find the best way on using GPS. GPS device combine the software Google Earth, it will provide the whole world map for us. People can use GPS relation device for science explorer, recording objection on earth move track. The Global position system applying on everywhere become more and more popular. The price of GPS relation equipment. Using GPS equipment was impossible on the early time, but now it became a convenient equipment that every can use it in every field. It became more che aper and useful. Teachers can use GPS equipment on their teaching activity, and make study with it. There are 4 paragraph in this article: preface, the theory of GPS, GPS apply, the future of GPS, and conc lusion.
