Applied Satellite Navigation Using GPS, GALILEO, and Augmentation

When GPS (global positioning system) was made commercially available in the year 2000, it launched a new era of satellite navigation services and technologies as dramatic as a spacecraft launch itself. This authoritative work gives engineers a timely, unified analysis of the various satellite navigation technologies, applications, and services now in operation or development. It describes the entire GPS system in detail, including features of the next-generation GPS-III, and brings readers up to speed on […]

GeoTime: Analysis of GPS Data From A Downhill Skier

In this video, we will be working with a data set recorded in the Canadian Rockies (Marmot Basin to be exact!). One of our GeoTime Team members used a GPS device to record a portion of their day skiing the slopes. What was great was that the device captured their altitude, which we allowed us to show their movement up and down the slopes over time. For analysis, we wanted to understand where they spent […]

GeoTime 5.1: New ArcGIS 10 Extension and GPX import

New in GeoTime 5.1: ESRI ArcGIS 10 Support GeoTime 5.1 introduces supports ESRI ArcGIS 10 with a new extension built exclusively for ArcGIS 10. * GeoTime is even more tightly integrated with ESRI’s flagship GIS product, making it easier for bi-directional workflows. * Support for projected map imagery with on the fly re-projection of map imagery from ArcGIS eliminates the need to re-project maps in ArcGIS in order to display them in GeoTime. GPX Support […]
