i want the detailed description.how this system works?what are the advantages?applications?
iam adding the abstract below,
The main aim of this project is to get the map of the desired location by using GPS and Microcontroller. This is very useful for civil engineers. By using this device engineers can automatically measure the distances or areas. The functioning of the project is achieved by using few control buttons, GPS receiver and MMC card.
The GPS is the acronym for Global positioning system. This GPS receiver is capable of identifying the location in which it was present in the form of latitude and longitudes.
The functioning of the device is achieved by employing a micro controller. The microcontroller forms the controlling unit of the project. The microcontroller is interfaced with a GPS receiver so that it can receive the information about the locations. The controller also interfaced with a control buttons. The end user can make use of this control button to store the latitude and longitude of the location that he wanted into an MMC card. All the locations stored in the MMC card can be sent to the PC where we open them in the Goggle earth map. One can see the entire points in the form of a map in the GOOGLE EARTH MAP.
The civil engineers to study huge geographical locations especially in the hill stations can vastly use this device.
