Proactive Detail Design of Batch III Sub-Projects using GPS

The procedural Steps are described below:


Step1: Install GIS Arc GIS 9.3, and DNR Garmin softwares. Save required Too !a "Sulied in #D$
ote: DNR Garmin helps to down load the GPS data (Track and Way point). Arc GIS is re!ired to
interpret and process the GPS data.
Step !: Download the data fro" GPS
#onnect G%S wit& t&e &el of 'S( ca)le to t&e comuter.

/it& t&e end of ste 4, we &ave )rou0&t all t&e raw field data into GIS. Now we are read. to edit t&ese data
as er our requirement.
Step ): +diting
Go to Tools and add 3ditor Tool )ar
#lic+ 3ditor and select Start 3ditin0.
#&ose t&e location of t&e required feature t&at .ou want to edit in t&e Start 3ditin0 window t&at
comes after .ou c&ose Start 3ditin0 from t&e 3ditor Tool )ar and ress o+ and select Start 3ditin0.
ote: do not #or*et to select the desired #eat!re in the Tar*et pop !p men!.
Now .ou can fine tune .our trac+ line ). dou)le clic+in0 t&e trac+ and movin0 t&e verte5. 6ou
ma. also delete and Insert t&e verte5 ). clic+in0 t&e ri0&t mouse at t&e desired oints on t&e trac+0
*e"e"ber: to sa"e and stop +ditin* #rom the +ditor Pop !p. In case yo! are compelled to edit yo!r
track e'tensi"ely as a res!lt o# di##ic!lties in the #ield, yo! can create yo!r own new track line
$ased on the a"aila$le track data and the conto!r lines o# the Topo map.
Step 6: .reate ew Trac- 5ine
*en 3rc .atlog "s&own ). arrow$
#&ose t&e desired location for t&e new s&aefile.
#reate new s&aefile ). clic+in0 ri0&t mouse )utton New S&aefile
Give t&e desired name of t&e s&aefile and select Pol,line in t&e ,eature T.e and ress *+.
Step 7: Drawing the new trac- line in the shapefile that ,ou have created0
Imort t&e newl. created s&aefile ). reeatin0 Ste 3.
To draw new trac+ line reeat Ste 7 in order to activate t&e editor.
Select s+etc& Tool to start t&e drawin0
6ou ma. also sna t&e features in order to ma+e .our s+etc&in0 -o) easier Select 3ditor and clic+

ote: The mo!se pointer chan*es
6ou can now start drawin0 t&e new trac+ line ). clic+in0 t&e left mouse alon0 t&e desired
ali0nment.
*e"e"ber: Do not #or*et to click on the Waypoints while drawin*, $y doin* so yo! will not miss the
chaina*e o# that way point.
After finis&in0 .our drawin0 clic+ ri0&t mouse and select 2inish S-etch or ress 2!.
Step $: To create new shapefile for #a,points

Step 16: 3dd the +>cel file in the GIS as a Separate la,er0
Goto Tools select 3dd ?@ Data
Give t&e location of t&e 35cel file and ress o+ "New la.er will )e added wit& e5tension H3ventE
Ri0&t clic+ on t&e a)ove file la.er 0o to Data, c&ose 35ort data and save t&e file ). 0ivin0 desired
location in s&ae file format.
Now .ou can add t&is s&aefile and remove t&e 35cel file from t&e 2a.er disla. window.
Step17: Deleting unwanted chainage points
Start editin0 as e5lained earlier in order to remove t&e unwanted c&aina0e mar+s0
ote: It is ad"isa$le to t!rn o## other layers in order to chose the e'act point #or deletion0
Siml. select t&e oint .ou want to delete wit& t&e editin0 mouse ointer and ress delete.
Step 1$: Setting 5a,out and Printing
Go to ,ile, select rint setu and c&oose t&e aroriate siIe of aer and orientation
Go to la.out view."shown by an arrow$
6ou can Stretc& .our ma ). dou)le clic+in0 and movin0 t&e verte5.
