4. APPLICATIONS OF THE GPS SYSTEM
The applications of the designed GPS System are illustrated as
below as follows.
1. Identifying user position precisely
2. Navigating from point to point
3. Moving compass
4. Steering to destination
5. To act as a city guide software
6. To identify nearby important places, tourist attractions by
computing user’s current location
5. CONCLUSION
This system developed is a miniature of what can be done with
the usage of GPS technology, since cost being a constraint for
further advancement, it provides the users a wide variety of
applications by using a basic GPS receiver which is costing less.
Thus the implemented system can pave way for developing
other systems using high end GPS receivers with lot of new
features and advancements, so that applications such as vehicle
tracking, tourist guide software etc. can be developed for the
users.
