Description:

Abstract:

Differential corrected GPS points collected near the Natural Science Complex, State University of New York at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY 14260-3050. Points were collected using a Trimble 5700 GPS Unit and corrected to a Trimble 5700 serving as a base station nearby.

Purpose:

The dataset was created to look at the results / accuracy of several GPS units. This data set was created to serve as a base dataset to compare the other units to.
