GIS is a computerized system for making maps - CORRECT ANSWER-false;
computer based system to store, manipulate, and output geographical data
GIS is a tool for storing maps and pictures - CORRECT ANSWER-false
GIS is a computer-based system to store, manipulate, and output geographical
data - CORRECT ANSWER-true
GPS units used by the military have higher PDOP than normal GPS units -
CORRECT ANSWER-false; lower
, GPS works better during the day, when the clouds help improve the signals -
CORRECT ANSWER-false; no clouds for good signal
GPS cannot work at all in the forest, even if the canopy is sparse - CORRECT
ANSWER-false; can work under canopy/ inaccurate
the signals we obtain with normal GPS today contain random error introduced by
the military - CORRECT ANSWER-false; no longer contain random error from
military
post-processing requires a special kind of GPS called deferential GPS -
CORRECT ANSWER-false; requires known location for adjustment
measurements of cartesian coordinated are in meters - CORRECT
ANSWER-true
measurements of geographic coordinates are in degree - CORRECT
ANSWER-true
DOQQs are digital arial photographs - CORRECT ANSWER-true
a raster model consists of pixels and therefore can require a large amount of
storage - CORRECT ANSWER-true
a vector model consists of objects (points, lines, and polygons) that take up less
storage - CORRECT ANSWER-true
metadata are a huge database that consists of both vector and raster models -
CORRECT ANSWER-false
selective availability allows the GPS user to selves the proper frequency (L1 or
