= = =NXT AND GPS SENSOR= Greetings All! We’ve recently released a new book through Café Press on using the Lego Mindstorms with GPS sensors. **This workbook was written to bring to life the GPS system that we often take for granted, and help students understand it, explore it, and find new ways to use it. **

The workbook was co-authored by Jim Kelly and walks the student through the very basics of navigation and the Global Positioning System. It starts from the ground-up, assuming no previous understanding of GPS and has a number of programming examples NXT-G. The book goes through each function of the GPS, with projects for each to help the student understand and demonstrate the different information provided by the GPS. As a final project, we integrate the previous lessons into a fun line-following robot that tracks its path with the GPS as it repairs a high voltage line in Alaska. The workbook can be found on Café Press here: http://www.cafepress.com/thenxtstep.545166852 John Cole Dexter Industries, Inc.
