View Alll Goshawks in a larger map Google Maps only shows some waypoints at a time... Nest site Data: - - -> Google Earth file < - - GPS format Excel All files .zip Individual files Original Data -> TRS data Instructions/Explanation Overview I used TRS data (Township Range Section) from historical nest sites to find the 1/4, and 1/16th sections and converted these to GPS coord, to aid in mapping and actually being in the right place in the woods while searching for Goshawk nests. Original Data: TRS-> GPS I converted township and range using this website-> http://www.earthpoint.us/TownshipsSearchByDescription.aspx then I saved each corner coordinate into the excel doc, to split up the section (~600-800 acres) into quarters (150-200 acres) and 1/16ths (to get around 30-50 acres search area) assuming 1/16th section data is known... Excel Each Corner Co-ord is inserted into Excel document with formulas Then Each column will calculate 1/4 section (colored backgrounds) and 1/16th section (Corners Each Column, 1/16th section in rows) Make master list with GPS coord's by pasting nearest known location (1/16th section) Coor-d's under the "Coords of section" data , to find each Corner and center Note: latitudes have positive values to make the math easier, type in a negative into the gps Excel may make you paste data as values, right click "123" (pasting 1/16th section coords into excel). Google Earth I put each coordinate into Google Earth for each site, Center and NW,NE, SW,SE corners Save all points for a site under a folder with the site name, organize by alpha and /or region Then I can export to google maps or GPS Export to GPS You can use this website to convert .kml or .kmz into .gpx (Which can then be downloaded into a GPS) http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ Hopefully this will help you to get to the right place at the right time. . .
