In many cases, there are multiple correct answers, so be sure to briefly explain how/why you would use the tool(s) that you selected Answer Bank Automated Cartography Remote Sensing Geographic Information Systems Global Positioning Systems 1) You work for the Richmond Register Newspaper and your editor wants an original ma showing all of the streams in Madison County for the morning paper. What toolos do you use to make the map? 2) You're going on an overnight camping expedition in an unfamiliar area. You've heard that the trails are poorly marked and you don't want to get lost.

Reasons: Global positioning systems are used to locate the position and manage the data to a computer. The other concepts are different from the camping necessities. GIS, automated cartography and remote sensing are used on a large scale.

Reasons: Global positioning systems are used to locate the position and manage the data to a computer. Since the latitude and longitude are available, GPS accepts it as an input and shows the location and our movement in finding the treasure.
