Indoor navigation for smartphones wins EU Satellite Navigation Competition 2012
Mobile navigation services are already a standard feature of smartphones. Now, however, the trend is moving towards mobile navigation that works indoors. In a joint project, Fraunhofer Portugal and the University of Porto are attempting to achieve seamless navigation indoors using ultra-low-frequency magnetic field communication. For their work, an international expert jury named […]
Trimble launches two new GIS data collection handhelds
Trimble recently introduced the Trimble Geo 5 and Juno 5 handheld GNSS devices for data collection, maintenance and inspection applications. The Geo 5 provides only the essential functions for all day, submeter productivity in a smaller package than Trimble’s flagship GeoExplorer 6000. The Juno 5 series sports a slim, ergonomic design that’s […]

Trimble expands Positions software to support Esri
Trimble recently introduced the Trimble Positions Mobile extension – a new choice for integrating Trimble’s GNSS field solutions and data verification into the Esri ArcGIS for Windows Mobile environment. The Trimble Positions software was first introduced as a development kit to Trimble’s GIS developer community in late 2011. Today, the software suite has expanded to […]
BAE creates alternative to GPS
Military platforms commonly use GPS to find their position and navigate. GPS rely upon a specific, and relatively weak, satellite signal that is vulnerable to disruption. BAE Systems has created a new system – known as Navigation via Signals of Opportunity (NAVSOP) – that is able to calculate its position by making use […]
