Transcript of GPS training to Assosiates
GPS Training
21st& 22nd May 2012
Lucknow
In IDEI’s consistent endeavour of creating awareness of treadle pump & biodynamic manure
amongst smallholder farmers it adopted GPS way of capturing treadle Pump location in field and
to ensure proper capturing of data by staff it organized two days training programme at Kamakshi
Palace Lucknow on the topic ‘’GPS instrument handling, operation and maintenance’’.
On total 54 participants were trained for operating GPS instrument out of which 27 participants
joined the training on first day and 27 on second day.
CGM Pawan Kumar Singh inaugurated the
training session & welcomed all staff. He shared
agenda of the training and asked participants to add
points further. He also mentioned about GPS
instrument as an instrument which captures the
object’s location, area and navigates object’s position
by receiving information through GPS Satellites.
Rajat Pendharkar, CCO- discussed in details about features of GPS,
it’s buttons, uses and benefits like locating an object and then
determining its basic position by creating map of the same and
calculate the area captured. GPS device were disseminated to all
participant to operate the same in class. Twice mock exercises were
done to ensure proper understanding of GPS operation.
Niraj Mallick from Garmin Ltd- discussed on
manner of inserting battery, checking battery
power, zooming in and out button, back keys,
thumb stick for moving left right, up and down in
display screen and scrolling menu key to get the
options for desired function.
All participants went to field to practically feed
treadle pump data in field. In field punch plate
number and farmer name was allotted for marking
way point and participants were asked to capture & calculate particular pump map & area in
allotted GPS instrument.
CGM Pawan sharing GPS instrument uses
Rajat from CCO mitigating participant’s queries
Niraj Garmin Ltd, clarifying participants doubts in group session
In next, group exercise all AM’s with their business Associates were allotted a task for capturing
treadle pump location, map and area. After exercise collected information were checked by Rajat.
Area Manager & Office Co-ordinator were trained for retrieving
data from GPS device.
Highlights-
Preferably, in an open field Power key should be pressed for 1
or 2 seconds for better signal receiving in case, if, the device
does not catch signal then restart it. As the device gets started,
it displays the satellite page. For capturing object minimum 4
satellites strong grey bars should be exhibited on screen with 3
metre distance.
All BA’s were asked to write function of GPS from inserting
battery in device to calculating area of TP.
Precautions-
Always, start the device in open area.
Under the water, high rise building, tunnels, under elevated, or
near high voltage area positioning is difficult by GPS.
Before starting area calculation current track should be deleted
before tracking next track by going into track manager.
Waypoint should be saved with punch plate numbers.
GPS system if not required then switches it off because it consumes a lot of battery.
Batteries get charged in about 4 hours and charger turned light from red to green.
Question & answer session-
CGM Sir asked participants to demonstrate steps of capturing location of pump and area
calculation.
Each participant demonstrated complete method of operating GPS system
Rajat told the Terminologies which are as follows-
Waypoint- used to mark location of treadle pump & filling data like punch plate number, farmer’s
name & address.
Track- a line of travel
Area calculation- to calculate area of the field irrigated by TP
Way point manager- to find saved TP location if necessary edit way point
Track manager- it manages & find saved tracks/area. If necessary edit areas.
At the end CGM Sir thanks all participants for their active participation and shared his hope that
the training knowledge will continue to disseminate to new joinee as well and Treadle Pump data
will be correctly captured by GPS instrument in field.
