Reviewing GNSS Basics For Software Engineers

摘要

Incorporating Global Navigation Satellite System capability into consumer electronics devices can be performed simply and cost-effectively by the use of a software approach. Position tracking, using the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), including Global Positioning System (GPS) and/or Galileo, is driving many consumer electronics applications. GNSS is no longer limited to automotive applications, surveying equipment, marine guidance, or expensive handheld tracking systems, but is now finding its way into many new cost-sensitive applications, including cellular handsets and Personal Navigation Devicesrn(PNDs).
