Library Resources

The WCC Library has a Geko GPS unit! You can check it out and go geocaching. If you'd like to plot your traveled truck on Google Earth (or on a GIS map), you can down load GPS data from the Geko unit to a PC using a PC interface cable, which is also available at the Library. Just ask for a "GPS unit" and "GPS unit PC interface cable" at the Library desk.

The Library also has many reference books on GPS, GIS and geocaching.
