If you have a #Garmin setup, remember that it can only accept the first 5000 track points in a #GPX file. I use an app called GPX editor on my Mac to split the very large files into two or more tracks that Garmin can handle.This screen shot shows an example of a single Bob423 file split into three individual tracks of fewer than 5000 track points each. #GPS #ICW #boating #cruising

Screenshot from the GPX edit app that I use to split a very large GPS tracks into multiple smaller tracks. On the left side of the screen is a large map that can show the entire track; this one runs from Norfork, Virginia to Southport, North Carolina. On the right side of the screen is a list of the tracks that I created as well as some other empty boxes that would fill with information if I clicked one of those tracks.

I released a small update (version 0.4.2) to Satellite, my simple #GPS / #GNSS app for #MobileLinux: https://codeberg.org/tpikonen/satellite (also in #Flathub).

The visible changes are the addition of 'Geoidal separation' field to the display data and a more compact display of various DOP values. As usual, there are also some small bugs fixed, and an update to the Gnome SDK version 45 in the flatpak package.

Family sues Google Maps after man drove off collapsed bridge while following directions from its #GPS #navigation service

The bridge collapsed in 2013 & on the night of Sept. 30, 2022 the vehicle plunged off the roadway into the water

#Google was warned by email & edit over the years about the bridge on private land but kept the edit in review status & directed drivers over it

800-Year-Old Math Trick Could Help With Navigating the Moon

“Scientists have developed a new method for #lunar #navigation, utilizing the #Fibonacci spiral to calculate the optimal parameters for a #GPS-like system on the #Moon. The innovative approach helps modernize lunar vehicle navigation, offering more accurate mapping based on the Moon’s unique ellipsoidal shape, which is characterized by distinctive semi-major and semi-minor axes.”

Why Apple’s 2nd Gen UWB Chip is Exciting?

UNTRACKED INDOOR LOCATION

“The new #iPhone 15 as well as new #AppleWatch Series 9 feature a second-generation UWB chip [which uses] less energy and switch more quickly, leading to enhanced performance, greater range, and new possibilities.”

Longer battery life and “a 3x improvement in #UWB range and unveiled a new precision finding feature for the Find My app to locate friends around.”

Text Shot: UNTRACKED INDOOR LOCATION
Another potential future application of the lower power UWB chip might involve a technique named Downlink TDoA. This stands for “time difference of arrival,” a new standard championed by the FiRa organization. It lets UWB-enabled phones passively receive signals from UWB beacons or anchors.
Imagine your car in a tunnel where GPS is unavailable. UWB beacons in the tunnel transmit radio signals to your phone. Your phone captures these signals, and using the time difference of their arrival, it can calculate the exact position of the car inside the tunnel. With Downlink TDoA, beacons don’t collect any data from to the phone. The precise location is determined solely by the UWB chip on the phone. This approach is seen as safer and more privacy-centric than traditional real-time location systems (RTLS). As a result, it’s often referred to as Untracked Indoor Positioning.

microG #GmsCore Release v0.2.29.233013


Neue Funktionen


Anmeldung

#microG unterstützt jetzt die Anmeldung bei Anwendungen und Spielen, die Google als eine oder die einzige Anmeldeoption verwenden. Diese Funktion ist noch experimentell und funktioniert nicht bei allen Anwendungen.

SMS-Retriever-API

microG unterstützt jetzt die SMS-Retriever-API. Apps können die SMS-Retriever-API nutzen, um per #SMS empfangene Bestätigungscodes automatisch mit einem app-spezifischen Token zu füllen oder der Nutzer bestätigt, dass die App den SMS-Inhalt lesen darf. Für diese API ist es nicht erforderlich, dass die App Zugriff auf Ihre SMS hat (microG benötigt jedoch einen solchen Zugriff).

Konfiguration des Google-Kontos

microG ermöglicht nun die Konfiguration verschiedener Einstellungen, Datenschutzoptionen und die Verwaltung von Kontoverbindungen Ihres Google-Kontos. Sie können die Einstellungen über die Systemeinstellungen oder direkt über verschiedene Google Apps aufrufen.

AppInvite's und dynamische Links

microG unterstützt jetzt vollständig das Öffnen kurzer dynamischer Links, die zur Freigabe in verschiedenen Apps oder statisch vom App-Entwickler erstellt wurden. Diese Links enden typischerweise auf .page.link oder .app.goo.gl. microG öffnet die entsprechende App, sofern sie installiert ist, oder greift auf die entsprechende Website (sofern verfügbar) oder die App-Seite im installierten App Store zurück.

Changelog

  • Karten:
    • Verschiedene Verbesserungen und Fehlerbehebungen
    • Deutlich verbesserte Performance und reduzierte Speicher- und CPU-Auslastung
    • Umstellung auf #Stadia als Kartendatenquelle. Dies ändert ein wenig, welche Dinge (wie POI) auf niedrigeren Zoomstufen angezeigt werden, sollte aber keine größeren Auswirkungen auf die App-Nutzung haben.


  • #Standort:
    • Hinzufügen der Möglichkeit, WLAN- und Mobilfunkstandorte von #GPS zu lernen
    • Unterstützung von mehr "beweglichen WLANs" (Ortung basierend auf dem WLAN-Netz in Zügen/Flügen/Bussen)


  • #Fido:
    • Aktualisiert für die aktuelle API-Version, wodurch Unterstützung für #WebAuthn im aktuellen #Firefox für Android hinzugefügt wird.


  • #SafeParcel:
    • Verschieben von SafeParcel in play-services-basement
    • Unterstützung für Shorts hinzufügen.
    • Annotationsprozessor hinzufügen, um CREATOR zur Kompilierzeit zu generieren (anstatt Reflection zu verwenden)


  • #Push Benachrichtigungen:
    • Verkürzung des maximalen Heartbeat-Intervalls, um das Risiko einer unbeabsichtigten Unterbrechung der Verbindung zu verringern
    • Verbesserte Unterstützung für alte Android-Versionen
    • Komprimierung nativer Bibliotheken zur Reduzierung der Dateigröße
    • Behebung von Konfigurationsproblemen


Anmerkungen

  • Die Namen der Build-Artefakte wurden geändert. withVtm wurde in vtm umbenannt, withMapbox wurde in mapbox umbenannt. Um das Modul nearby zu deaktivieren, muss man modules.nearby=false über local.properties setzen.
  • microG fordert zusätzlich die android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS-Berechtigung für den Zugriff auf SMS an, um die SMS-Retriever-API zu implementieren.
  • Die Einstellungen für Exposure Notifications werden nicht mehr angezeigt, wenn sie deaktiviert sind und seit mehr als 14 Tagen nicht aktiviert oder aufgerufen wurden.

But this one claims that it can achieve a year of battery life with a tiny 6g LiPo battery.

A screenshot with the following text highlighted.
One trick people do for ultra-low energy non-realtime GPS tracking of wildlife is to store the “raw” radio samples and do as little processing on the tracking device as possible.[1] Then once the tracker gets back they batch process all the samples recorded and reconstruct where the animal has been. That is obviously a tradeoff of more storage used for less energy consumption. Obviously that trick does not work if you want to know where the animal is live, it can only tell you where it has been once you have processed the data.

@SomeAnoTooter @rato @organicmaps That is absolutely right. In other words, when it is said a map/routing app runs offline on your phone, this means it is able to work resembling a handheld dedicated #GPS equipment, with no connection to the Internet, i.e. no cell towers nor Wi-Fi: it just uses satellite location and maps previously downloaded to the device for on-the-go navigation.

The first thing to do after installing is downloading maps for the area you want to use. That's it.

@organicmaps is a carefully well designed app, using monthly updated data from @openstreetmap . If you do not need advanced features or lots of customized options, just a smooth map with pretty fast user experience and simple, straight to the point offline navigation, it is a very strong option that respects your privacy and your freedom.

Your phone tracks your location data, and you may want some #privacy . Of course you can switch off #GPS , but then you lose #navigation .

If you run #Android , I recommend @organicmaps that allows you to download maps of your region and navigate without telling anyone. It's of course #OpenSource .

If you like it but miss feature X, I recommend #OsmAnd. It does the same, and has features X, Y, Z, ξ, đ and щ.

Succinct piece about why general practice is collapsing as a system of care, and why GPs justifiably feel undervalued

https://insightplus.mja.com.au/2023/14/doctors-need-more-say-in-fixing-gp-crisis/ #generalpractice #PHC #GPs #healthservices

Text Shot: However, it is not just about funding. Other evidence of GPs being undervalued includes:

not being considered frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, thereby having to source our own personal protective equipment, cover our own costs if exposed to the virus, and waiting months before being allowed to be vaccinated;
being accused of systemic fraud while in truth GPs tend to undercharge rather than overcharge; and
having inappropriate Medicare audits that often penalise those doing the hardest work.
Fixing funding is important but not sufficient. Respect and recognition for how general practice sustains the health care system is essential for long term solutions.

If you're using OSM, either as a blind individual profiting from the available mapping data with one of the navigation apps or as a an OSM contributor, this OSM wiki article could be interesting as it explains how to map the world with blind users in mind. It explains specialty tags, some of which I had no idea existed, suggests tools for data entry and introduces the Blind OSM project. #OSM #GPS #Navigation #Mapping #Accessibility #Blind OSM for the blind – OpenStreetMap Wiki https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_for_the_blind

…you can actually run without a sports watch?

no smartphone is actually required to run. no gps tracking, heartrate sensor, strava uploads. no music, no audio hints or motivational audio. you can, you know, just run. i think this was how people did this before all that. probably learned it from animals.

this is fantastic. do you remember when you did that last without any gadget? i'll need to try it some time.

If I had to buy a new #camera, that camera must have #GPS. Finding back photo's using location is so much easier... Yesterday I responded within a minute to a request “can you forward me the the pictures from the mural I made with your phone at location x about two months ago”...
