Recently one my acquaintance has returned from a trip across Germany. When we
Have started talking about cars, he has told, that in Germany it was possible to it
To go through it is literally a shock. What it has shaken?.
To drive from one place of the big city to another, its colleague
It was necessary to use the satellite established on the car
The receiver. The colleague only has set a route terminal point... Also has gone
Strictly under receiver instructions, up to, where on what strip
Movements it is necessary to be reconstructed. During the shortest time they were on a place.
If the receiver was not, it should to study a map of the city in details,
Having spent for this considerable time, also there is no confidence, that the route would be
The best is chosen.
We had not time to get used to that we can use the blessings
Satellite navigation as these systems already have stepped forward. Firm GARMIN,
We successfully use whose receivers in our life, offers us more
The perfect technics.
Let's remind, that satellite systems of navigation allow us to define
Site co-ordinates in any point of globe. Ours
Site we can see on the liquid crystal display
The receiver reminding a telephone tube.
On this display we see not simply a marker or ours width and a longitude. We
We see our site on a map of the most different scale, from 30 m to
800 km in one centimetre.
Companions of American system GPS (Global positioning system -
Global system of a fixing), being in orbits in height
About 20 000 kilometres, radiate radio signals, on which receivers
Calculate a site. Simultaneously over horizon are located 12 of
24 companions from which the receiver chooses 4-6 with the best
Arrangement. On them are defined not only co-ordinates, but also height and
Corner of a course of moving object. And it within all globe, on
To land and at ocean.
But it is a result part. The second part - that in receivers
Maps which are very quickly improved and, besides especially are put in pawn
The cartographical information, contain more and more the service information:
Arrangement of hotels, parking places, gaz stations, round-the-clock
Shops, long-distance call boxes and so forth Exist the global
Map of the world and map of the European countries: the Great Britain, France, Germany,
Etc. it is natural Spain, on maps of the countries more than the service information.
These maps at will can be copied in a replaceable cartridge,
Established in the receiver. Release of such maps now occurs
As avalanche.
Let's stop on one of new receivers - GPS III +. Here it
Technical я п я п п я п я п я я п п п :.
The receiver gives out a lot of the service information by means of appearing on
The screen of messages. Messages inform you on a status of system,
Editing of a point of a route, status of batteries etc.
For example, it is such я п пЁп?п п я :.
- Time on which the signalling device (alarm clock) is established has come.
- You are less than in one minute of a way from destination.
- Batteries give not enough food and their replacement is necessary.
- You have sheered to the left or to the right at the distance exceeding
As much as possible admissible limits.
- Ahead sharp turn (this message stands out approximately for 1 minute
Before the turn which corner exceeds 25 degrees that you not
Have gone off-course).
The receiver display is insignificant (5,6я 3,8 the sm), however is quite sufficient for
To see on him all elements of a map interesting you. After all on
Him in all size of the display the area of all 180я 110 m. can be shown
Planning a route, it is possible to establish about 500 control points.
On the display 6 information pages can be consistently shown
(Images):.
Page of a status of companions.
Page of a site (co-ordinates).
Map page.
Compass page.
Highway page.
Page of an active route.
The page of a status of companions shows you the information on companions. On
To her are shown visible in the sky and the accessible companions corresponding
Strips-indicators of force of a signal, current status (capture of companions,
Two-dimensional navigation, three-dimensional navigation etc.) and settlement
Error at definition of co-ordinates. You also can see a status
Batteries and to regulate contrast/illumination of the display with the help
The shaking keyboard.
The page of co-ordinates (site) shows, where you are, in
What direction and as quickly you move.
The map page shows your movement, registering a projection
Your course in real time (a trace in the form of electronic "the grain
Crumbs "appears directly on a map in process of your moving)
And your current site in the form of an arrow-index in the map centre.
On map page nearby lakes, the rivers, highway also are displayed and
Cities.
The compass page specifies a direction to destination. In
The page centre there is a rotating ring of a compass which shows
Your course concerning the earth (a course projection) during movement and
The arrow-index, showing a direction in which there is a point
Purposes (azimuth) in relation to a course concerning the earth.
The highway page also provides navigation to point
Purposes. At movement to destination the screen middle gives
Possibility visually to define a direction to your terminal point
On moving graphic "highway". Your current site
It is designated in the centre of the bottom part of the display of highway. A line in the middle of highway
Your demanded course is designated. At movement to a point of a route of highway on
The monitor moves, specifying a direction in which you have deviated from
Course. To save a course, it is necessary to move simply to
To the highway centre.
Having passed, having driven, having flown by or having floated on the chosen route, it is possible on
To it upside-down to return to a starting point.
So now at fans sea, air or automobile
Travel the navigation question is solved - they never will lose the way, having
The satellite navigator. The fisher, the hunter will always find placed by it
Networks, reserved places. Moreover, separate updatings of receivers
Can show an arrangement of fish jambs in the sea. By the way, receivers
Are executed in the tight case allowing them to be in water, in
Current of half an hour on depth to 1 metre. All information it is possible
Independently to bring in a map.
The prices for family of satellite receivers GARMIN in shop Best (bodies.
(044 246-92-54) - from 200 to 600 c.u.
By the way, in Ukraine satellite receivers (navigators) too are made.
They can use both the American companions, and Russian
(Systems "п п п?п?п я я " - global navigating satellite system).
Thanks to it they under some characteristics it is better American. But
They while are poorly provided by maps, have not enough service, and the prices in
Some times above the American. So firm GARMIN receivers can
To serve now as samples.
