GPS Telemetry Field Test Data 04/10/2004
We installed the GPS receiver and 900MHz telemetry link for a trial
run. Using a Sharp hand held computer we captured the transmitted
GPS data at 1 reading per second. Current systems allow 4 readings per
second.
Which included:
Latitude
Longitude
Elevation
Time
Heading and speed (derived)

This application simulates the flight in a 3D space over a satellite
terrain. Note the blue airplane and the yellow GPS plot points and connecting lines.
