I've only used it with old equipment. Separate GPS and Palms. The newer
units read position and record within themselves. We had one GPS and
multiple palms so one had to input GPS reading and select sighting.

GIS is programming on the computer the recorded data comes back to. Our
Fish & Wildlife and Extension Services offer free training and access to
their maps. Maybe others do too.

and share data on runoff, etc.
