An Introduction To Gps Technology




Before getting into the technology part, let me first tell you what GPS is. The Global Positioning System, or GPS, is a space-based satellite navigation system that was developed by the United States Department of Defense, specifically for military use. It is managed by the United States Air Force 50th Space Wing. In 1983, a Presidential directive by the then President Ronald Reagan made it available for civilian use. Though the main purpose of GPS System is navigation, the GPS Technology has been widely used in cartography, land-surveying, study of geographical areas, and so on. Now, let’s get into the technical part.

In simple words, the GPS is made up of three parts, GPS satellites orbiting the Earth, control and monitoring stations on Earth, and the GPS receivers. The GPS satellites (numbering between 24 and 32) in the space, send out precise microwave signals that are picked up by the GPS receivers. These GPS Receivers provide you their current three-dimensional (latitude, longitude, and altitude) location, the precise time, and the velocity at which the receivers are moving.

It is interesting to know that the time reference provided by a GPS navigation system plays a key role in day-to-day activities, like banking, cellular networks, mobile phone operations, and even in controlling power grids.

As far as transportation systems are concerned, a GPS System serves like a route map, providing navigation not only for road transport but also for marine and aviation purposes.

There are certain factors that can affect the accuracy of a GPS signal. Ionosphere and troposphere slow down the signals passing through them. Tall buildings or large rock surfaces can reflect off GPS signals before it reaches the GPS receiver. GPS units are not equipped to work indoors, underwater or underground.

Still, a GPS system is considered as the best way of navigation, especially in emergencies to locate and help people.

Nve-m300 Gps Navigation Drive From Alpine




Check out Alpine’s newest GPS navigation product: the NVE-M300 GPS navigation drive. This is a compact, hideaway module that adds premium navigation features such as the OnPoint Advanced GPS Positioning (which combines three vehicle positioning technologies), turn-by-turn, voice guided directions – to two of Alpine’s audio/video head units, the iXA-W404 and IVA-W505.

NVE-M300 GPS Navigation Drive is available for $450, the iXA-W404 for $550 SRI, and the IVA-W505 for $1,100. Check out the full press release after the jump…

ALPINE ELECTRONICS DELIVERS NEW IN-DASH NAVIGATION SOLUTIONS

Black Box Module Adds High-Performance GPS Navigation to 2009 Audio/Video Head Units

TORRANCE, Calif., July 14, 2009 – Alpine Electronics of America, Inc., the industry-leading manufacturer of audio and navigation solutions, today introduced the new NVE-M300 GPS Navigation Drive. This high-performance black box navigation module makes it easy to add turn-by-turn navigation functionality to Alpine’s iXA-W404 and IVA-W505 Audio/Video (AV) head units. Adding the NVE-M300 to these products results in two unique Audio/Video/Navigation (AVN) solutions.

Consumers can have a $1,000 digital media solution combining the NVE-M300 and the iXA-W404 with its 4.3-inch touch screen that is optimized for iPod/iPhone playback. Alternatively, they can create a $1,550 premium system based on the IVA-W505 with its 7-inch touch screen and DVD capability.

The NVE-M300 is a compact, external navigation drive. Measuring only 4 3/8 in. x 4 1/8 in. x 1 in., it is designed to be professionally installed and mounted in a hide-away location, such as behind the dash. Once connected, the NVE-M300 adds a fully integrated navigation experience to Alpine’s two top selling AV head units.

The NVE-M300 features Alpine’s innovative OnPoint™ Advanced GPS Positioning to deliver a better navigation experience. OnPoint ensures that vehicle’s icon stays accurately positioned on the map, even in areas where it’s difficult to receive GPS reception, such as in a tunnel, around tall buildings or under heavy foliage. OnPoint simultaneously uses three technologies – satellite-linked GPS data, solid-state gyro sensor technology (to determine the vehicle’s direction) and accelerometer technology (to gauge the vehicle’s speed) – to deliver improved performance.

A simple and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) combined with voice guided driving directions make the NVE-M300 easy to use. Big, bright icons and large buttons provide easy identification of commands or maneuvers. Assistive mapping visuals display essential driving information such as One-Way Street icons for clear notification of one-way streets, and Highway Junction View for maneuvering complex interchanges. Text-to-speech technology is used to announce the turn-by-turn driving instructions, including street names, freeway numbers and freeway exit names. All the voice guided driving instructions are delivered through the vehicle’s sound system.

The NVE-M300’s map data is provided from preloaded NAVTEQ® maps of the United States and Canada, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. As well, the module comes with 6 million unique Points of Interest (POIs), which include restaurants, hotels, gas stations, movie theaters and grocery stores.

The NVE-M300 can be customized to match the user’s preference. Color schemes can be chosen from a palette of four map colors and eight menu colors. English, Spanish or French can be chosen as the preferred language. The Dashboard feature can be set up to display trip information such as driving time and average speed.

“With the NVE-M300, we are delivering an improved GPS navigation experience at a lower cost,” said Stephen Witt, vice president, marketing, Alpine Electronics. “The NVE-M300 drive gives customers the opportunity to easily add GPS navigation to their iXA-W404 of IVA-W505 AV head units.”

Rifleman Radio Includes Gps




The Joint Program Executive Office Joint Tactical Radio Systems (JPEO-JTRS) is working on the Rifleman Radio to provide secure networking capabilities to the soldiers.

The Rifleman Radio is a ruggedized and light device which includes a push-to-talk, and a hands-free headset. The device automatically connects to its proprietary network which can expand and contract as radios are added or subtracted.

Rifleman Radio and the accompanying network will allow squad leaders and team leaders to talk directly to their subordinates, and their subordinate leaders to be able to command and control their individual squad and platoon battle troops.

In addition to voice communication the Rifleman radio also supplies the commander with location info which is almost as crucial as being able to talk to the troops. Thanks to the embedded GPS receiver, Rifleman Radio can provide Position Location Information, or PLI, on an easy to read display:

At Fort Bliss, the 1st Armored Division used the GPS features of the Rifleman Radio in a shoot-house situation. Squad leaders positioned outside of a darkened room were able to locate and identify the positions of each member of their team through the PLI.

Sony Vaio P




This is not quite news but we thought we’d mention the new Sony VAIO P which was just made official at CES 2009 couple of months ago.

Sony VAIO P is kinda special because it is the only 8? netbook out there that includes a GPS receiver. Another amazing feature you’ll like on this device is the Gobi mobile broadband technology and the instant-mode option that will get you online faster than anything else.

But you still get those older technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooh, MMC, SD card slots, and a G sensor :)

3G broadband connectivity is offered by Verizon.

Pick up Sony VAIO VGN-P530H/R on Amazon for $900.

Accident / Event mode in which the device automatically detects the event via an impact sensor then it records and saves the images before and after the accident or event; or manual mode when the device records and saves images by the driver manually pushing the emergency button.

It can take SD cards up to 2GB. Here are some more specs:

  • Location information storage
  • Vehicle operation information storage
  • Event replay with GPS tracking
  • Powered by the vehicle with cigarette lighter adapter (included)
  • Easy program installation (included on the SD card)
  • 1.3 CMOS Mega Pixel camera
  • MPEG 4
  • 3 image quality choices 320 x 240
  • (QVGA) 640 x 480

  • Internal GPS
  • Internal 3D G-Sensor
  • SD card (Min 512MB Max 2GB)
  • Event recording includes:
  • emergency button
  • adjustable sensitivity movement
  • collision
  • break
  • acceleration

Crowdsourcing Traffic



Have you realized how many different companies out there are trying to map the traffic congestion in real time? We’ve got the people at Waze, Ahamobile, and even Google. How are they doing this? Pretty simple: Most phones these days have a GPS receiver (it is completely up to you to turn it on or off so stop freaking out already).

If you decide to install an application on your phone from one the names above you’re on a two way street. You get maps and other information from them – and if you choose – they know where you are and how fast you’re moving. When the servers that collect this data and combine it with similar bits of data from thousands of others like you – they have a pretty good idea of how fast things are moving on most streets.

The way they collect and share information is a bit different though. Ahamobile for example is more interested in drivers sharing information with each other while minimizing the interaction with the phone (you are driving after all).

[aha] built the first driver-to-driver network which connects drivers to each other and to relevant information from the internet. You can record and share personal traffic reports to help those around you, or listen to a customized traffic channel on the roads you travel. Aha also alerts you to the nearby things you need – like a great cup of coffee or a restroom

Waze on the other is relying on the users not only for traffic information but even for map building. If you go to their live map you may see some roads just end abruptly.

Our map keeps improving with time, mostly due to the help of community members such as yourself. If you find a mistake on the map, got the wrong route, or waze gave you a turn that doesn’t exist or isn’t legal, there are a few things you can do

Google is a whole different story. Millions of people already have their application on the mobile devices so they have a huge advantage as far as getting you the most fresh and highest resolution data.

We would like to hear what you think about helping these people with the traffic information? Do you have concerns about your privacy? Are they worth your time and precious phone battery? Do you know any other names that crowdsource traffic data?

Canmore Usb Gps




Canmore has a brand new USB GPS Tracker that is a bit out of the ordinary so it’s worth mentioning. It is actually called Canmore GT-730FL-S USB GPS Tracker Stick Data Logger and unlike most other USB GPS sticks, Canmore carries its own battery pack inside. What this means for you is that when you’re done on your laptop, getting directions, looking at maps, etc, you can just unplug and use the Canmore USB GPS as a standalone GPS data logger.

With the included software you can also use this little GPS tracker as a geotagging device for your photos provided you’re on XP or Vista.

Another cool feature is the A-GPS support. For this to work you’ll need to install the provided PC application which can download the most recent satellite data to get even a faster position fix.

Canmore USB GPS costs only $50

Apsi C100 Gps Navigation System



APSI C100 is a GPS navigation system from Korea that is also a portable media player.

The back of the casing that mounts onto your windshield carries most of the details, such as the DMB TV antenna port, an optional external GPS mouse port, and AV in and out. On the front side it lets you control the volume and many other options since it becomes the interface for controlling all the infotainment in your vehicle.

The GPS navigation system software is of course what we’re most jealous about. It seems like all of South Korea is mapped, including the all buildings and their heights. It is called Gini 3D.

If you are done navigating and need some tunes to go with you just take out of the charger and carry it with you. Looks pretty sleek.

We had already announced Navigon 8410 a while ago, but with the IFA 2009 show in Germany it became more official – along with its brother Navigon 8450 Live. The story with these are pretty similar to the Navigon 64xx series. Navigon 8410 will cost 450 Euros and you’ll have to the option to add on the Live module for an extra 100 Euros. The Navigon 8450 Live on the other hand will be offered for 500 Euros. The outrageous Live service still apply after the first three months: 140 Euros for two years, or 80 Euros for one year.

Some of the extras you get on 8410 and 8450 Live that you won’t find on the 63xx series are the enhanced multimedia features, the huge 5″ touch screen with glass surface, and of course the DVB-T antenna for watching digitally broadcast channels.

Navteq To Crowd Source Traffic Data From Nokia Phones




One of the biggest digital map makers, Navteq, is going to be using data from Nokia to enhance its traffic reports.

Nokia, which purchase Navteq last July gathers data anonymously from millions of Nokia phones to enhance its map and traffic data.

The data will expand Navteq’s real-time traffic service to include secondary roads in addition to the primary roads it covers now. It will also improve arrival times and route planning on navigation devices using Navteq maps.

TeleAtlas, Navteq’s main map competitor already does something very similar by collecting data from TomTom GPS devices.

In addition Google just started with the crowdsourcing of traffic data, now providing traffic information on side streets as well as freeways… via

Navigation Made Easier With Marine Gps!



Ever since they hit the market way back in 1989, Garmin GPS units have found many uses for consumers with the very many innovative features that they have incorporated. When you are out on a cruise, their GPS receivers help you have an idea of where exactly you are. They can tell how other people can get there too.

A majority of GPS products in town are auto GPS units, which are equipped with comprehensive mapping and generic software. This is not of much help to the boaters and mariners. Though the design tries to incorporate most of your needs, it may not be tailor-made to suit your purpose. So if you are on the lookout for a GPS receiver, which provides both auto navigation as well as one that will be ideal for use on boats, then marine GPS units are the ones meant for people like you.

Marine GPS devices, which work with the help of the latest GPS satellite system, are excellent in tracking the boat position. With handheld marine GPS units providing information on the position, speed, and the course you are following, there is nothing more that you need to complete any voyage you plan. Most marine GPS devices, such as Garmin marine GPS units, deliver other information necessary for boaters, like lunar, solar, and tidal data in an exceptionally handy format.

Marine GPS units can serve the objectives of and function either as any one of the follows:

• A viable backup to permanently installed onboard gear

• Main navigation computer

The marine GPS tracker units can serve as a theft deterrent for your precious boat too. Thanks to these handheld marine GPS units, you can be free from tensions. Your loved ones can also be free of worries as there is always help within reach.

Snooper Lynx Gps




The British brand Snooper is not really new to Navigadget. We’ve talked about them here before. However they have something newsworthy of mentioning here again. It is called Snooper Lynx GPS. What makes the Lynx special is that in addition to warning you about speed traps, and cameras, it also has a GPRS module to provide you with real time traffic udpates. Also with the touch of a button it lets users of the device share the location of mobile police speed traps and other mobile elements in real time – as soon as the police gets situated at an intersection.

Of course since the device is connected your speed camera locations are always up to to date and you never have to go back to your PC to update it.

It costs £194.
