Objective: 
On completion of this course, the students will be able to learn how to arrange and manage the remote sensing Data, about the errors is GIS and linking of spatial and non Spatial data and attributes handling. Candidates will be able to analyse the spatial data, its overlaying, and interpolation methods including network and suitability analysis. In this paper students will learn to check the coordinates using GPS and familiarise with GPS receivers, to use single and Relative point receivers for collection of ground points.
