National Park Service, <PARK NAME>, <PARK DIVISION> <YYYYMMDD> vector digital data http://www.nps.gov/gis/ This is a vector point file showing the facility assessment of <FEATURE TYPES> at <PARK NAME>. The coordinates for this dataset were collected using a CSI MBX-3 beacon and Garmin GPS V receiver (serial # XXXXXXXXXX). Associated photos were taken using a Kodak CD5000 digital camera (serial # XXXXXXXX). The photos were watermarked using GPS Photo Link software. To show the location of facility assets at <PARK NAME>. All data collected will be used to support the Condition Assessment process of park assets. The intended use of all data in a park's GIS library is to support diverse park activities including planning, management, maintenance, research, and interpretation. In Fiscal Year 2002, the National Park Service Facility Management Program began a condition assessment process for the park units across the service. Part of the condition assessment process utilized Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for collecting locational information for assets that are maintained by the park's facility management division. An asset can be a bridge, road, trail, building, sewage treatment plant, etc. In addition to using GPS to collect coordinate or locational information for every asset, a digital camera was utilized to photographically capture the condition of the asset.

The facility assessment is <SELECT ONE> <complete> <incomplete>. The data were collected according to an accuracy standard that is less than or equal to 40 feet (or 12 meters) so that National Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS) for 1:24,000 scale maps will be met. Real-time differential correction was done through use of a beacon. During collection, accuracy was verified by checking the status screen on the Garmin V. No tests were performed to insure vertical accuracy.

The RTCM function was enabled so as to allow real-time differential corrections. The MBX-3 receiver was locked on to <NAME BEACON USED> beacon. Estimated accuracy for the receiver was set to less than or equal to 40 feet (or 12 meters) to insure that National Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS) for 1:24,000 scale maps were met. All data was collected in the (TIME ZONE) time zone. GPS Collection <YYYYMMDD> <SELECT THE COLLECTION SENARIO USED> Single person collection occurred. GPS position was <SELECT ONE> <the photo location with the photo's direction of look (i.e. looking 'south') recorded> <collected at a corner of the asset or structure and then a digital photo was taken at some distance from the asset or structure>. Two person collection occurred. GPS position was a corner of the structure (assuming this was a building) . Photograph of asset was taken at some distance from structure or site. <YYYYMMDD> GPS Collection Time and date fields in the digital camera were verified and found to be correct and correspond with the time and date in the Garmin GPS V Receiver. Stamping, quality, and resolution options were checked and properly set. Prior to beginning collection, the "GPS start time" was recorded by taking a digital photo of the GPS receiver to provide a "time-sync". The same camera was used to photograph each facility management asset. Camera collection <YYYYMMDD> The digital camera data was downloaded and linked to the GPS locations through Software known as "GPS-Photo Link" by imprinting watermarks on the photo. The data watermarked on the photo includes the date and time of collection, the four-letter park acronym, latitude and longitude, elevation above MSL and Horizontal Datum Name (NAD 83) that was used when collecting data. The coordinates and photos were linked by matching "the time-stamp on the photos with the time-stamp in the GPS Track Log". GPS-Photo Link GPS Photo-Link<YYYYMMDD> Upon completion of the GPS-Photo Link step, the data files were uploaded to an Image Workflow Server using file transfer protocol or by cutting and loading a CD. Data files loaded to the Image Workflow Server include original image files (.jpg), watermarked image files with date and time stamp (.jpg), a comma delimited text file of photo locations (.csv) and two point shapefiles containing photo locations and track log, (.shp, .shx, .dbf, and .prj files). In order to differentiate between the 380+ park units in the NPS, the data was loaded to the Image Workflow Server in a directory format that included the four-letter park acronym, the date of collection, and the camera serial number.
