Instructions for use
This GPS enables the geographical coordinates of locations related to MSF missions (villages, refugee camps, boreholes, health facilities, etc.) to be collected and transmitted to headquarters to be incorporated into maps.
For personal navigation waypoints tracks can be uploaded to the device and advanced users can create and upload custom maps.
Warnings
- GPS equipment is prohibited in some countries and is often regarded as espionage equipment.
- A GPS does not take the place of a compass or a clinometer.
- The accuracy of the coordinates depends on the number of satellites the GPS can "see" (at least 3 for longitude/ latitude and at least 4 for longitude/latitude/altitude).
- The GPS satellites are operated by the US Department of Defense. Transmissions may be jammed or discontinued in some "contexts" (such as wartime).
- Mapmaking is a profession. The use of GPS by MSF missions should be limited to the recording of geographical coordinates as described above.
