relationship between geographic and attribute data,
and to help participants understand some important
data quality considerations.

GPS Coordinates
Advantages Very accurate:
10 meters or less
Easy to get a quick location of a few objects
Receivers and devices becoming more affordable
Disadvantages If many objects need to
be located, there needs to be a well designed data collection protocol
Capturing something other than a point can add time and cost

Discussion Questions
What geographic identifiers do you use in your country, and do they work well for the types of decisions you need to make?
What problems have you run into, if any?
Do you always include these geographic identifiers in your data?
