Instant information experience for GPS using Qwiki

A "Qwiki" is a short, interactive story: a drastically improved information experience provided via interactive video.

This is a great tool for research. It has an interactive interface highly visual in nature with short notes that is really comprehensive and smart.

I have tried querying on GPS and this is the result:


View Global Positioning System and over 3,000,000 other topics on Qwiki.


Qwiki is really super nice with the instant upload on my favorite social networking

File Formats A "shapefile" consist of at least three actual files. This is a commonly used format that can be directly used in Arc-anything, DIVA-GIS , and many other programs. Unfortunately, non-latin characters are garbled. An "ESRI geodatabase" is an MS Access fole that can be opened in ArcGIS (an expensive but powerful program). One of its advantages, compared to a shapefile, is that it can store non-latin characters (e.g. Cyrillic and Chinese characters). A "Google Earth .kmz" file can be opened in Google Earth . A "RData" file can be used in R (with the sp package loaded) Some files have been compressed and grouped i
