The training was conducted by fifteen student supervisors from Ardhi University, who prior to leading the training received three months of instruction with Ramani Huria. The three days of training for new students included an introduction to OpenStreetMap (a free editable map of the world) and mapping tools such as field papers (including their use and how one can create his/her own) and the GPS Unit (eTrex 30), used to record tracks and waypoints.
