Boat sonar

I like the use of sonar, espically in submarines. the sonar travelling through the water and reflecting off the surfaces until it hits something else in the water and rebounding back to its postion.

This is really helpful as it also gives an estimation of how far away something is and time destination to get in range, or to a point.

I like the use of sonar that the bat uses to identify where it is going.  This will be useful in trying to incorporate in looking out for something specific eg a room/destination.

I found this to be one of my favourite sites. It takes on the concept og gaming navigation and brought into real life. through the use of magnets and light to determine a certain route to an end result.

Very good site, as when you use a light arrow pops up on the floor and tells you which way to turn, after inputting it into your phone of where you want to go.

These are navman products which help you find your way around in a car.
this could influence my project as it has to grasp the same concept of getting from point A to point B.

I found this site to be very helpful ' GPS architecture' as it explained to components of what certain edevices do to navigate.

GPS user segments uses Gps recievers. This is the main function as it recieves gps signals, and solve the navigation equations in order to find the co ordinates and provided accurate time.
