GPS Drawing is the action of using a Global Positioning System
receiver as a paintbrush and the Earth as a canvas. I would
characterize GPS Drawings in two broad categories based on how
much the drawer allows the environment to influence the drawing
and to what extent the drawing's final appearance is predetermined
by the drawer.
For example, one could walk into a flat, empty field and draw a
figure or write a word with the same predetermination as one would
on a flat, blank sheet of paper.
At the other extreme, one could follow the cues from his or her
environment for a more abstract drawing. This could include
outlining a football field or keeping track of one's daily
movements about a city.
Below is a time progression that shows my movements during the
latter half of 2006:

Columbus during that time.
