    The space shuttle crew leverages a hand held device to feed information into rendezvous planning. The primary limitation on this device is that it requires a line of sight between the target and the designator. Terrain contour matching . Uses a ground scanning radar to "match" topography against digital map data to fix current position.

  3. GNSS road pricing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNSS_Road_Pricing

    The vehicle data is processed into trip data, which is then matched to a set pricing scheme to produce a bill. Most GNSS-based toll systems process trip data at a back office (using a "thin client" approach), while some systems have been designed so that all the map matching and fee calculations take place within the OBU itself ("thick client ...

  4. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    In mathematics, a spherical coordinate system specifies a given point in three-dimensional space by using a distance and two angles as its three coordinates. These are the radial distance r along the line connecting the point to a fixed point called the origin; the polar angle θ between this radial line and a given polar axis; [a] and

    A GPS receiver in civilian automobile use. Air navigation systems usually have a moving map display and are often connected to the autopilot for en-route navigation. Cockpit-mounted GNSS receivers and glass cockpits are appearing in general aviation aircraft of all sizes, using technologies such as SBAS or DGPS to increase accuracy.

  6. Radial distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_distance

    Radial distance, typically denoted r or ρ , is the distance from the origin to a point along the radial dimension in a: Polar coordinate system;

  7. NMEA 0183 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NMEA_0183

    NMEA 0183 is a combined electrical and data specification for communication between marine electronics such as echo sounder, sonars, anemometer, gyrocompass, autopilot, GPS receivers and many other types of instruments.

  8. Cylindrical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_coordinate_system

    The radial distance ρ is the Euclidean distance from the z-axis to the point P. The azimuth φ is the angle between the reference direction on the chosen plane and the line from the origin to the projection of P on the plane. The axial coordinate or height z is the signed distance from the chosen plane to the point P.

    In August 2018, the UK stated that it would look into creating a competing satellite navigation system to Galileo post-Brexit. [94] In December 2018, British Prime Minister Theresa May announced that the UK would no longer seek to reclaim the investment, and Science Minister Sam Gyimah resigned over the matter.
