GPS performed well for locating lines of stratification and SU boundaries, flying lines of latitude during stratification, flying overlapping survey lines within SU's, and recording moose locations during stratification and the detailed census. GIS worked well for map preparation and plotting moose locations. GPS and GIS contributed to reduced aircraft and manpower costs for moose surveys.</p> ER -
