March 31, 2021 New v2021.5 g3 Cartography Offers the Latest Data and Expanded Coverage Situational awareness when boating should be as much of a priority as finding the best fishing spot or place to drop anchor for the day. When it comes to navigation, situational awareness suggests that you have a keen understanding of the conditions around you and how those conditions could affect your vessel. To put it plainly, it means that you are being a […]

A new Galileo Information Center for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean has opened in Mexico City, with training facilities in Querétaro, Mexico. The 177-million population is a largely untapped market for space, according to Telespazio Ibérica. Telespazio Ibérica will run the center as leader of a consortium composed of European and local industrial and institutional partners such as everis, Enaire, Geotecnologías, and universities including the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma […]

March 30, 2021 Adventurers have been using Garmin GPS handhelds for decades. From button-operated to touchscreen, small and compact to large displays and everything in between, Garmin offers a wide range of durable GPS devices for any activity. And as a leader in this technology, we’ve embraced the use of multiple satellite (or multi-band) frequencies in our newest outdoor navigators. Multi-band means better, stronger and more accurate position than what previous-generation handheld receivers offer. It […]

Annual mapping by JIRP reveals the glacier’s thickness has varied from one year to the next, likely due to snow accumulation variability, but the overall current trend shows an annual net loss of ice. “Taku is losing enough meltwater […]

March 25, 2021 As a cyclist, you can’t get around the fact that training and racing are increasingly focused on power. Therefore, it’s not surprising that power meters are popular: They provide accurate and instant data, allow you to create highly structured training sessions and get rid of the “junk miles.” Let’s dive a little bit deeper into training with power and how to get the most out of the best training tool you can […]

With JASON, users can achieve highly accurate geolocation without a base station, Robukun said. JASON works under a “freemium” pricing model, making it possible to use it for free or to subscribe to monthly professional or premium plans. JASON is a post-processed kinematic (PPK) satellite positioning service in the cloud that allows users to achieve highly accurate geolocation by […]

March 26, 2021 Sedentary work habits have been associated with a number of health concerns, including increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. A recent study conducted in Sweden explored the use of mobile health interventions (“mHealth”) to reduce occupational sitting time in adults with type 2 diabetes and see how such programs would be received and adopted in workplaces and by patients. Combining the use of interviews, SMS reminders, counseling with specialist […]

Photo: Murata Murata has developed a new (micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) six-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) inertial sensor for GNSS positioning support, autonomous off-highway vehicles and dynamic inclination sensing. Murata’s new SCHA63T sensor is a single package 6DoF component. It can enable centimeter-level accuracy in machine dynamics and position sensing, and can assist in ensuring safe, robust and verified designs. The sensor enables further advancement in technology and novel solutions for GNSS-based measurement instruments, advanced driver/operator assistance systems, and […]

March 24, 2021 An abnormally high stress level indicated to Cynthia Sarver that what her body was experiencing might not be simply food poisoning — a tip-off that resulted in emergency surgery for a gangrenous, burst appendix. By Garmin customer Cynthia Sarver My Garmin vívosmart® helped to save my life. I know, I know — you’re rolling your eyes and thinking that I’m being overly dramatic, but I assure you I’m being quite literal. Let […]
