Document Summary

Triangulation (equal distance: process of determining the location of a point by forming triangles to it from known points. What is the problem of using gps for location services: battery drainage, privacy (geotagged) Why is everyone so mad about it: generation, technology, and spatial practices, we are people- we get used to things.

(cid:863) Spatial practices are represented at different scales: size and geographic extent, different processes are important at different scales, weather and climate, your everyday life. A map is: a geographic or spatial representation of something. Location/ lat and lon is what makes a map a map and not just an image. Geo-referencing process of assigning spatial coordinates to data that is spatial in nature, but has no explicit geographic coordinate system.
