Enhancing GPS Navigation with Magnetometers: Software Development Insights

In this talk, we explore our innovative approach to GPS navigation using affordable handheld devices. We showcase the development of a software program designed to enhance outdoor navigation with tools like the Garmin 450 and G-856. Attendees will learn how to create a parallel grid using MagLog, define grid parameters, and generate GPX files. The session covers importing data into Google Earth and Garmin Basecamp for effective mapping and track analysis. Join us to discover how to leverage GPS and magnetometer data for accurate navigation in the field.

Presentation Transcript

  1. GPS & MAGNETOMETERS • We recognize the requirement for GPS navigation in the field • To be competitive we have initiated a software development program to utilize inexpensive hand-held GPS systems • This talk will discuss our new developments and show results

  2. Ross with a Garmin 450 and G-856

  3. G-856 Cable with GPS Power

  4. Getting on Track • We use MagLog in demo mode to create a parallel grid of lines. • We define a beginning and end point with Map flag or typed lat/long input • We define the grid by number of lines, right or left or both directions, line separation, bidirectionality and waypoint separation

  5. How to make a grid

  6. Create the GPX File

  7. Loaded back into MagLog

  8. Load GPX file into Google Earth

  9. Zoom in to see bidirectional Line Features

  10. Now we are ready to load the GPX file into Garmin Basecamp

  11. BaseCamp Image ready to load into Garmin Oregon 450

  12. Route in MagMap2000

  13. Converted to UTM

  14. Load the GPX and Mag Data into MagMap2000

  15. See the Mag Profile and GPS Track

  16. Export data to MagPick

  17. Import in MagPick

  18. See the Track, Make the Map

  19. Export to *.KMZ Google Earth

  20. Load Positions and Data into Google Earth

  21. Final Map for Interpretation
