Abstract
An undergraduate tutorial project, based on the utility and application of the global positioning system (GPS) to geographical problems, offers the potential to develop a wide range of academic and transferable skills. A broad understanding of the accuracy, precision and limitations of GPS to geographical issues is provided. This knowledge is developed though a small-group exercise, encompassing skills such as teamwork, project formulation and design, local fieldwork and literature searches. Additionally, the exercise may act as a valuable precursor to a more successful undergraduate research project, since the constraints imposed by such a venture, from conception to conclusion, have been experienced, and the need for flexibility identified.
