" Catalyst performed beyond expectations. It was so lightweight, and it had the accuracy we needed in poor environmental conditions." Sarah Galloway GIS Specialist, Dillon Consulting. RESULTS "We flagged some obstacle areas and used downed trees as natural obstacles," Galloway said. "The race is 5 km and we marked 2.7 km of possible trail with tape and points so we could see where it was when we were back in the office. We were getting centimeter accuracy on both units. Using Collector made it easy for us to view the trail and location of the obstacles once we got back to the office." Catalyst performed beyond expectations," Galloway noted. "It was so lightweight, and it had the accuracy we needed in poor environmental conditions. The added bonus of using smaller hardware made trekking through thick vegetation cover a little easier." Galloway shared Catalyst's AGOL web map with event organizers and participants. The combination of accurate trail layouts and obstacle locations overlaid on current aerial photos (provided by Canadian company First Base Solutions), proved invaluable when creating the race layout. Marking the trail and obstacles as well as enabling the creation of a story map allowed race participants and organizers to view their race day accomplishment. "This was a site with lots of roadblocks but everything was finished in time for the race," Galloway said. "We are looking forward to using Catalyst in more challenging conditions."
