Using an approved network GPS unit in decimal degrees
and WGS84 formats, (e.g. Garmin 60Csx) take a GPS reading at the exact point where the
station will be located using at least 300 measurement points. To do this, follow these steps:
a) Turn on the GPS unit and acquire satellites.
b) Press the “MARK” button.
c) Using the arrow keys, select the “Avg” menu option and press the “ENTR” button.
d) Place the GPS unit in the location where the station will be located.
e) Allow the measurement count to reach 300 points.
f) If the estimated accuracy is below 5 meters after 300 points, save the waypoint and record
the total number of measurement points and accuracy. If the accuracy is above 5 meters
after 300 points, continue to collect points until the accuracy is below 5 meters and then
save and record the information.

the site has been uploaded so a map can be created.

For example, the main climate station at Nam Kading would be named CL-NAK-1. Transfer
the GPX file from the Garmin to a computer and upload the data to the TEAM portal (see
TEAM Sampling Design Protocol at: http://www.teamnetwork.org/en/protocols)
