The annual Middle TN GIS User Conference is today and GEO-Jobe is here with a booth. During all of the boring presentations we are feverishly trying to figure how all this Trimble equipment works. We sell it but we haven’t got a clue about any of it. At first we thought GPS meant Generic Point Surveys, but one of the college students corrected us. We were hoping someone would present anything about GPS to help us out, but it’s all about open source this and GIS that and blah, blah, blah… Fr

Bob Baron, president and founder of Baron Services, gave a special presentation at the Rocket City Geospatial Conference on Thursday morning. He started by showing clips of himself and other weathermen from as early as the 1970’s, which were wonderfully amusing and sometimes downright silly. He was a TV weatherman during the “grease pen on a chart” days. This experience was the impetus behind the founding of Baron Services, he explained. “In 1984, an F4 tornado came through Huntsville; there wa

GIS is a massive topic. You can spend your entire lifetime studying this field and still not know it all. And on top of that, studying can only get you so far. You will begin to learn so much more by taking the initiative to explore hands on above and beyond any textbook. Even though I feel you can learn more by exploring, I would suggest you take a look at the Getting to Know ArcGIS Desktop book. This book is full of rich information covering GIS in the ArcGIS software environment. T

Geolocation Demo The Google Geo Developers Blog has posted an interesting demo of a Google Map and YouTube mash-up that uses the Gears Geolocation API to determine the map user’s location. The Gears Geolocation API provides an approximation (WIFI-based for PC and GPS/CellID-based for mobile devices) of your physical location. The map then uses the YouTube API to load in videos that have been geo-tagged as near your location. It is possible to search for particular tags in the videos geo-tagge
