ABSTRACT

Using a Garmin nüvi® 200, available at many electronic and department stores and retailing for under $200, CMMCP successfully loaded nearly 2,000 properties designated for exclusion from our adulticide program. This presentation will detail the process to convert the addresses and upload them to the unit. Advantages and disadvantages will be discussed.
