Introduction            
The research vehicle Sandtracker is a customized Yamaha 4x4 all terrain vehicle that assists in launching and retrieval of the Surfzone Explorer and also serves as a high-tech data collection platform when integrated with real-time kinematic GPS. The sand tracker truly compliments our beach profiling and topographic mapping programs through the collection of very dense spatial data while traversing the survey area at 15 mph. Fast, accurate and reliable; let us map your project in three-dimensions.
