HAZ Learning Workshop: Route Manager

Post by chumley »

HAZ Learning Workshop: Route Manager
Tuesday, April 2, 2013
7:15-8:30pm
ASU Tempe Campus

I had discussed doing this in a forum thread a while back, and I decided to try it and see how it goes.

Because I’ve heard first-hand from regular HAZ users and seen a fair number of questions posted in threads and comments, I thought this would be a good subject to explore some more.

So, I will be hosting a workshop where we will go over the functions of the HAZ Route Manager. We will cover many topics, including:

1. How to upload a GPS track and save it to the HAZ hard drive
2. How to edit your GPS tracks including splitting tracks, joining multiple tracks, adding and deleting points, etc.
3. How to create hikes and edit tracks from other HAZ users for your own use.
4. How to gather and report data from GPS tracks such as mileage, AEG, and time.
5. We may also visit how to post your edited tracks to HAZ and also how to geocode photos to the track (depending on time available).

I am by no means an all-knowing expert on all of this. While I will lead this course, it will be a participatory discussion, where anybody in attendance will be welcome to ask questions and provide input and share their experiences with everybody. It will be a collaborative learning effort.

So if you are interested in learning more about the HAZ Route Manager, please sign up for this event. It's free! :)

It will take place in a fully mediated classroom at ASU. You may bring your laptop if you wish to “play along”, or you can just watch as everything will be shown on a projection screen in the classroom.

There is free parking adjacent to the classroom building in the lot on the southeast corner of Mill Avenue and University Drive. (Exact classroom location and directions will be provided later).

The classroom has a limited capacity, so I will ask that you please sign up for this event to make sure that we have enough space reserved. Thanks!

Todd,
Thanks for doing this!

I highly recommend anyone with interests in:
- Mapping
- Route Planning/Creation
- Route Documentation/Statistics
- GPS upload/download
- etc., etc. etc.
to sign up for this.

Route Manager can be a very powerful tool.
The more you use it, the more advantages you'll see to continue to use it.
Start with the Basics and work your way to all the special features.

Would it be too forward of me to suggest that since you are not charging a "fee" for this class, that maybe donations might be welcome? In case you infer any costs in conducting this class? Anything above your costs could be donated to HAZ so that we can take what we learn and make sure that there is somewhere to apply it in the future???

Donations are always welcome to HAZ and are encouraged for anybody who feels willing and able to contribute. Unfortunately, one of the stipulations of using the classroom is that the event cannot require fees or donations (unless we want to share the proceeds with the university). So donations are welcome--but not in conjunction with this event. :whistle:

Well would a donation of a liquid malted beverage work? Would hate for you to lose your voice half way through.

Route MGR is a free on-line tool that helps you plan hikes. It can also be used to understand where you have been.

Like HAZ I created it for people that love hiking. It is beneficial for all skill levels.

Hope to see you next Tuesday!

I'm guessing you are NOT suggesting a U of A classroom? :lol:

@coanbru
UofA? Way too much of an inconvenience for my HAZ peeps. But would any of yooz guys consider this place http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-p ... 5264_n.jpg to be too much of a compromise as an alternative venue?

A class that includes usage of a GPS in a subterranean basement room. :o
Very interesting! ;)
