Hi, I was involved in doing some introductory level GIS unit ( not for geography people) in Asia last year. Once I was asked to do that course, I faced the same situation as you. We are working under very tight cost constraints and cannot use costly material or ask people to use such. I have prepared some presentations for the course with lot of supporting material from freely available web resources/ diagrams etc. That does not cover sufficient level of GPS surveying .
There are few basic level tutorials I have prepared on using software to prepare maps also. I have used QGIS /Udig as the software. Do you like to have a look at them ? If so I may be able to provide an access code for this material available in their website. You may use them if useful for your purpose. Goodluck! Nimalika On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 2:35 PM, G.
