technology guidesCSR eGPS | Hybrid Positioning Technology![]() CSRs eGPS is another hybrid positioning technology combining the best of integrated GPS and cellular measurements in order to expand the range of environments where accurate positioning is possible. The hybrid nature of the positioning technology also improves responsiveness and power consumption. Importantly eGPS does not depend on the upgrading of any existing [...] Microvision’s PicoHUD![]() Microvision’s PicoHUD with laser powered projection is significantly smaller and brighter and has higher contrast than other HUD technologies available at the moment. The PicoHUD is a demonstration unit to showcase the capabilities of the PicoP display engine for potential use in HUD for automobiles, trucks and busses. The unit was demonstrated [...] GPS Head Up Displays (HUD) Set to Storm the Market![]() Head up display (HUD) technology is set to be the next significant technology to be integrated into GPS automotive navigators. It will follow text-to-speech for announcing street names, speech recognition systems for control and Bluetooth for hands-free phone calls in improving driving safety. CSR’s CSR9000 – Integrated Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS and FM Chip Solution for Mobile Devices![]() Despite integrating Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy, Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n), FM receive and transmit and GPS the CSR9000 still beats less endowed competitors coming in at a tiny 60mm2 module size. It’s news that will be ring sweet in the ears of handset an mobile device designers looking for the smallest form factor possible. [...] Speech Recognition GPS Navigation![]() Research into speech recognition has been ongoing for over 25 years. In recent years this significant body of research has begun to pay off with more consumer computing and electronics hardware incorporating speech recognition command systems. A recent survey by VoiceBox, a leading speech recognition products supplier, revealed that there is a strong demand for speech-enabled features for personal navigation systems among consumers. Traffic Message Channel (TMC) Traffic and Travel Information for GPS Navigators![]() Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is an extra paid service which delivers information about traffic conditions to suitably equipped GPS navigators including heavy traffic, delays, accidents, road works, black spots and speed cameras. When integrated into route calculations traffic information gives a driver options for alternative routes to avoid delays saving time and fuel. [...] MSN Direct Traffic and GPS Location Based Services![]() MSN Direct will bring location based services information direct to your GPS unit. It’s available in 100 of the largest cities across the United states (check MSN Traffic service coverage). Traffic reports and other information is sent to your GPS navigator through an FM signal. An MSN Direct Receiver can come built into [...] Transflective TFT DisplaysTransflective LCD displays are commonly used for displays intended for use in direct sunlight such as handheld GPS units. In low light (indoors) transflective (transflective = transmissive + reflective) displays use backlighting. In bright light (sunlight) they reflect light off a mirrored surface behind the display to boost backlighting making the display more legible [...] Garmin’s HotFix Ephemeris Data Prediction Reduces GPS Start Times![]() GPS navigation device manufacturers know that a quick time to first fix is a selling point with consumers. Running predictive calculations of satellite positions while the GPS navigator is off is one way to speed up the time taken to establish a lock on a few GPS satellites so that navigation can begin is [...] Downloading GPS Coordinates from Google Maps or Mapquest to GPS Navigator![]() A useful, convenient feature available with Google Maps and Mapquest allows you to download a location you’ve found (GPS coordinates and address) directly to your TomTom or Garmin GPS navigator.
