China’s Beidou GPS system is as accurate as US GPS system

At  the 2012 Forum of Astronautic Technology and Strategic Emerging Industries in Dalian City, Yang Qiangwen, Chief Engineer of China’s Beidou Satellite Navigation System, said that the system was as accurate as US GPS System. Its horizontal error is less than 10 meters while that high up in sky is less than 15 meters. In measuring speed, its error is less than 0.2 m/s.
China has developed the system over the past 10 years. Its first phase was formally completed in 2003. The three satellites operated satisfactorily. The last satellite for the second phase was launched on October 25 this year to complete a regional network of 16 satellites, in which 14 are providing services in their orbits. The whole system is operating smoothly and is able to provide formal services for the entire Asian-Pacific region.

The third phase, Beidou Global Navigation System will be completed by 2020.
According to estimates, the system is generating 100 billion yuan ($16 billion) revenue now. It is expected that its revenue will rise to 150 billion yuan ($24 billion) and 400 billion yuan ($64 billion) respectively by 2015 and 2020.
Major Chinese producers of the chips have made a breakthrough in the technology related to the chips. They have entered the second and even the third stage of development, and their products are equivalent in technology and functions to those of major companies abroad such as SiRF and uBlox.
Yang said that so far the chips produced by China were expensive and had to be improved through extensive use. He expects that by 2015, China will have its own intellectual property for the chips and the functions of its chips will meet international technical standards then.
He said that Beidou faces cruel international struggle for resources, position and market. There are a limited number of frequencies for navigation systems and the best of them have been taken by the US and Russia. China and Europe who began development of their systems later, have difficulties due to the limited number of channels. The have to conduct negotiation and discussion and do a lot of work to get more and better channels.
Yang also mentioned the possibility of cooperation with the US and Russian systems, but stressed that China had never wavered, and would persist in developing its system independently.
He said that Pakistan and Indonesia are much interested in the Beidou System while Laos, Myanmar, Mongolia and some other countries are also interested. Work is being done to provide the services of the Beidou System abroad.

Traveling GPS System for Walking & Driving in Europe

Most GPS devices are designed for either driving or walking purposes. However, certain models, such as the Garmin Nuvi 500 series, are capable of handling both types of navigation. In addition, some of these devices come with support for traveling in Europe. When using these GPS devices in Europe, you typically need to manually switch between walking and driving mode.

   Step 1 

Connect your GPS device to a power cable or make sure it has a working and fully charged battery.

Step 2

Press the power button to turn the GPS device on so it can begin searching for network signals. On most devices, the signal display uses the bar icons.

Step 3

Enter the address or coordinates of the location where you want to navigate using the GPS device's touchscreen or keyboard.

Step 4

Tap on the mode icon, usually located at the top of the screen, and then choose the type of navigation mode you want to use, such as driving or walking.

Polar's New RC3 GPS Watch

The Finland-based Polar Electro company has long been known for training electronics and quality heart rate monitors. But the company was slow to bring integrated GPS devices to market, instead relying on GPS accessory units that fed data to its watches. But Polar has taken another step toward an easier-to-use and set up, integrated GPS sport watch with its new RC3 model.

The RC3 has built-in GPS, a slim profile, and light weight (only 58 grams). The watch also has many training functions that have endeared Polar to athletes who are meticulous about their training, including individualized, pre-setup workouts, heart rate zone optimizer, fitness test, and training load metrics, in addition to all the basics. An accurate and durable (based on my experience) wireless heart rate monitor strap is available as an accessory, as are bicycle mounts, bike cadence sensors, and more.

Oakley airwave HUD + GPS goggles

As winter approaches in the northern hemisphere, oakley has developed a new type of snow goggles for those counting
down the days for a highly anticipated ski season. featuring a built-in heads-up display (HUD), the 'airwave goggle' implements
GPS and bluetooth technology alongside an accelerometer, barometer and gyro sensors for accessing real time information
about jump analytics that show distance, height and airtime.

Compatible with both iOS and android operating systems, incoming calls
and text messages can be viewed through bluetooth connectivity, allowing the goggle to access and interface with your
smartphone, heart rate monitor and music player.

Your GPS Will Disable Itself If It’s Going Too Fast

Whether it’s your windshield mounted Garmin or your pocket slung smartphone, your GPS device is programmed to disable itself under certain conditions.
If it’s travelling faster than 1200 MPH or above 65,000 feet in altitude, the GPS function will shutdown.
These restrictions were put in place to help ensure the technology could not be used for malicious intentions by foreign governments or terrorists.

Modern commercial airplanes do not typically approach this speed or altitude, so you can’t test this unless you build your own missile or weather balloon.

Tagg tracking system

Tagg is a GPS-enabled pet tracker that can not only locate the whereabouts of your pet, but also how much activity your pet has had in the past 24 hours. The collar attachment is a small, wireless device that can be attached to any collar. Owners can easily access the information online and determine if their dog needs to be walked more often, or fewer times.

Dave Vigil, President of Snaptracs that made Tagg, explains that:

Much like the exercise journals and health records we use to help understand our own health and wellness, the data captured using the Activity Tracking feature will help owners monitor their pet’s overall activity so they can make informed decisions about their pet’s exercise routine and be alerted about changes in their pet’s activity over time.

Magellan Switch Series

Switch is a crossover GPS watch designed primarily for running but expandable to cycling, swimming and other outdoor activities.
Switch tracks position precisely with GPS satellite data and records time, distance, speed/pace, elevation and more. High-sensitivity GPS allows Switch to acquire satellites quickly and track movement in many tough environments – near tall buildings, on mountainous terrain or under heavy tree cover. By using ANT+^TM wireless technology, the Switch easily connects to a Magellan heart rate monitor or any ANT+ compatible heart rate monitor, foot pod, bike speed/cadence sensor and power meter.
Boasting a high-resolution display, Switch provides superior readability in varying light conditions - especially bright light. With 8 hours of battery life from a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, Switch has enough gas in the tank to capture most activities. And for endurance athletes, Magellan offers an optional Battery Extender Pack that provides 16 hours of additional battery life, for a total of 24 hours.
Switch is water-resistant to 50 meters, so it can be worn for an extended period in water to track swimming activities and other high intensity water and snow activities. The slim design and flexible wristband mean Switch can be used in a variety of conditions.

Switch breaks away from the pack by introducing a new training concept for GPS watches – Activity Pacer. Once a desired distance, time and speed/pace have been set, Activity Pacer not only shows the targeted progress, but more importantly, provides specific targets to attain or maintain the original goal.
Additionally, Switch includes fitness and training features such as customizable activity screens with over 80 data fields to choose from, 9 activity profiles to save device configurations based on activity type, auto lap, auto pause, backtrack navigation, marking locations, activity history, and more.

Soleus Launches GPS FIT 1.0 Watch

Fit Brands, the UK distributor of Soleus, today announces an addition to its family of sports watches; the Soleus GPS FIT 1.0. The watch was designed with Soleus’ philosophy at its heart: providing runners with everything they need and nothing they don’t.
Simple and easy to use, the Soleus GPS FIT 1.0 is an updated version of the top selling GPS 1.0. It allows runners to accurately track their pace, speed and distance. Auto lap splits can be set by the runner in half mile and half km increments and the night light mode will help for training runs through the winter months. The display has been updated to provide big, easy to see digits and the user can toggle to view what is most important to them, whether it be speed, calories, distance or time. It has four light modes and a more breathable band for increased comfort.

Using global positioning satellites, the Soleus GPS FIT 1.0 allows the user to navigate and record their runs, walks and hikes and tracks the number of calories burned during the workout. Its compact design makes it one of the smallest GPS watches on the market today.
No matter where the runner is in their training, Soleus has a watch that caters to their needs – from the walker, to the newbie runner to the professional.  Every Soleus watch has the clear aim of being affordable, value for money and simple to use watches to all runners and walkers. The market is full of complex and expensive watches; runners pay for functions they just don’t use. If the runner is serious and wants more data tracking, or is relatively new to running and just wants to know how far and how fast, there’s a Soleus watch perfect for them. Soleus gives the runner everything he needs in a watch and nothing he doesn’t. Soleus includes a large viewing area, large digits, and bright fun colours to their watches, allowing runners to use them as their everyday watch too.

Shoes with GPS by Dominic Wilcox

Designer Dominic Wilcox created a utilitarian pair of kicks with LED lights on the toecaps, that illuminate to show you which way to walk. First, the wearer uploads their location via USB. The lights on the left shoe indicate the correct direction, and the lights on the right shoe are a progress bar that show you how far you have left to go.

A piece of software has been created in which the wearer plots their desired destination on a map - this location is uploaded via USB to the shoe. through the use of two microcontrollers called arduinos, a simple click of the heels, where the GPS is embedded, activates the system, with a red tag containing the unit's antenna positioned upwards.

Powered by battery, similar to that of mobile phones, data from the left shoe communicates wirelessly with the right one which shows progress via a bar of LED lights on the footwear's toe cap. a green LED is illuminated once one has arrived at their final destination. the left shoe indicates the correct direction in which to walk by way of LEDs placed in a circle.

Nokia, Samsung, Sony, Qualcomm form alliance to improve GPS coverage

Finding out where you are located when inside a mall or in a sports arena using a smartphone is difficult today because of bad GPS coverage and to deal with the issue, Nokia, Samsung, Sony and Qualcomm have formed an In-Location Alliance, to improve the indoor positioning, which is the next façade of mobile services.
Apart from improving the indoor positioning in such locations, the In-Location Alliance will also prioritise low power consumption, making the technology both easy to implement and use.
The core technologies would feature Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi. These technologies are already used in mobile devices and are therefore a good starting point for the Alliance’s efforts. Pilots will be deployed starting in 2012, while integration in smartphones and other devices and the first commercial consumer applications will happen next year.

Accurate indoor positioning will open opportunities for new services. For consumers this could include receiving directions to the right products and promotions in nearby shops or using real-time navigation inside a building to help find a friend, the companies said in a statement.
The In-location Alliance members include Broadcom, CSR, Dialog Semiconductor, Eptisa, Geomobile, Genasys, Indra, Insiteo, Nomadic Solutions, Nordic Semiconductor, Nordic Technology Group, NowOn, Primax Electronics, RapidBlue Solutions, Seolane Innovation, TamperSeal, Team Action Zone and Visioglobe.
Surprisingly, important companies such as Google and Apple are missing from the list. It may be noted that earlier this year, Google had launched Maps Floor Plan Marker for Android, which is still in beta and aims to show users their location more accurately within indoor venues.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

GPS is a navigational system offering information under any weather condition from any area that falls within its range, from anywhere in and near the earth.  This project was developed in the year 1973 to break the restrictions and challenges the previous systems faced. It was initially run with the help of twenty-four satellites and became completely operational in the year 1994. The system has been modernized and developed since then.
GPS’s design is primarily based on land-based navigation systems like Decca Navigator and LORAN, developed during the Second World War period. In 1960, the first successful navigator, named Transit, was experimented on by the United Nations’ navy. It was able to provide a navigation fix of roughly once an hour and was comprised of five satellites.
The Timation satellite in 1967 was the first to implement clocks in space. After tweaking and learning from its predecessors, the Omega Navigation System became the first official global radio navigation system, during the next decade.

The Global Positioning System is owned by the Government of the United States and stewarded by the Department of Defense. Successful mobile GPS tests were done in 2004 and a modernized satellite navigation system was launched in the year 2005. It has become a handy tool for people around the world.

NAVSOP

A new system have been developed to protect military vehicles from GPS jamming by using already existing radio waves to locate rather than relying on GPS satellite signals. The system uses cell phone, Wi-Fi, and TV signals to locate a person or a vehicle but can even use GPS jamming signals to correctly get a position fix.

Known as NAVSOP, this technology scavenges radio signals from the air and can work indoors or even underground where wimpy GPS satellite signals can’t reach. This technology could replace GPS in the future.

Garmin Fenix

Garmin came out with a new GPS watch called Garmin Fenix.
Some of the highlights of Garmin Fenix, in addition to the GPS receiver of course, is the compass, altimeter, barometer, and the optional external ANT connected temperature sensor. Some other features include the ability to plan trips and create routes, record waypoints, and record GPS bread crumb trails. You can also navigate to coordinates if you wish. You also get a 3-axis electronic compass to get your heading even when you’re stationary.

Fenix, which is water proof to 50 meters can last 50 hours in GPS mode and up to 6 weeks in plain watch mode.

Garmin dezl 760 Truck Navigator

Garmin today announced dezl 760, another truck gps navigation system from the company with a 7″ screen. A new feature on the new Dezl 760 is the Active Lane Guidance feature which tries to help truckers with intersections and lanes. Other features include the ability to log hours of service, and a loud speaker so you can hear over the engine.

Other features of the new Garmin dezl760lmt include truck-specific routes and turn-by-turn directions based on vehicle’s size and weight. Another logging feature on this new Garmin is the fuel usage and it also has fleet management interface.

TeleType Announces SmartTruckRoute: GPS Navigation App for Trucks

TeleType pioneered the GPS truck navigation industry in 2008, providing the first portable GPS navigation system for trucks. The company recently announced their latest innovation: SmartTruckRoute. This application is available on all Android smartphones, and will soon be released for the iPhone and iPad devices. SmartTruckRoute stands apart from other GPS navigation apps, because it was designed with the specific needs of commercial trucks in mind. The app is also the first server-based app, providing secure back up of routes and location data.

“The Android app gives truck drivers peace of mind for about 10 cents a day, regardless of what other GPS they may be using as it provides an inexpensive back up system for truck navigation,” said Marleen Winer, TeleType’s V.P. of Business Development. The SmartTruckRoute app can be used as the sole GPS navigation system for truck fleets, or simply as a back up system for an existing method. The application can be used simultaneously with other smartphone functions, so the user can make and receive phone calls. The app also provides turn-by-turn instructions, which can be plugged in to the vehicle’s speaker system to avoid driver distraction.
Unlike many other navigation systems, this app was developed specifically for trucks, so it includes special features that a generic navigation devices wouldn’t. Some of these features include truck specific routes and maps, and supports Hazmat restrictions by class, which help the driver avoid restricted tunnels and routes based on the truck’s cargo. The driver can input specific information about the weight and size of the truck and receive routing considerations specific to his or her vehicle. The system can help the driver avoid one-way roads, low bridges and other clearances, load limits, and even sharp turns.

GPS Fleet Management Offers Fuel Economy Function

GPS fleet management is one of the greatest advances ever in industries that rely on the central control of multiple vehicles. Delivery services, trash pickup, city bus systems, and taxi companies are just some of the areas that have seen drastically increased accuracy, oversight, and accountability since GPS was introduced to the private sector. Now, a Seattle-based company is adding a new feature that is sure to perk the ears of fleet managers who are looking to cut costs anywhere possible.

Zonar, the creator of an already-popular GPS fleet management system, is now offering a fuel economy tracker to its other functions. Those other functions give managers an unprecedented level of control and automation over processes like inspections and maintenance needs monitoring. With the new function, managers will be able to quickly determine which route from A to B is the most fuel-efficient. With gas prices climbing and the economy still struggling to recover from a recession, every little bit helps. Cutting fuel costs by taking the best route translates into real savings, and this tool finally allows fleets to do it easily and quickly.
Here are the basics of the fuel economy tracker: The Zonar system works by logging sample data when a vehicle’s motion changes. For example, if a delivery truck continues at a steady 60 mph for five miles, only a few samples register. However, if a truck is traveling through the city, stopping at lights, changing lanes, and making frequent turns, samples register every few seconds. Since more speed and direction changes means lower fuel efficiency, Zonar’s system marks those routes as worse for fuel consumption.
This particular GPS fleet management software actually already includes a few other measures that improve fuel efficiency. Managers can set each vehicle’s tracker to send text message notifications if its driver is using poor driving techniques—accelerating too quickly, braking too hard, or leaving a vehicle idling for too long. When drivers know their vehicles are tattling on them, they are far less inclined to use these gas-guzzling techniques.
Zonar is certainly poised to become an even more popular GPS fleet management system than it is today, as grateful managers take advantage of the ability to lower fuel costs by rerouting vehicles.
