OnTheGo GPS Training

GPS Certification Training

OnTheGo provides GPS training through the Canadian Ecology Centre's National Green Check GPS Certification Program.

The Canadian Ecology Centre (CEC) is the author and provider (evaluator) of the National Green Check GPS Certification Program. The CEC will register participants, who have completed a certified course, in a national/international data bank (those needing this for professional, commercial, insurance, or leadership reasons).

The course or program participant will be able to identify and communicate a location on a map, in tandem with a GPS unit. This will include the use of the map datum source, the coordinate system (UTM and latitude/longitude) and a compass. Additional navigation information, such as direction and distance (scale), as related to a map or "real" feature, would complement the identification.
