# Ded Reckon
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dead Reckoning using compass and step counter.

|
|
|
|

|
This allows logging track using "dead reckoning" -- that's logging
|
|
|
|
|
angles from compass and distances from step counter. You need to mark
|
|
|
|
|
turns, and point watch to direction of the turn. Simultaneously, it
|
|
|
|
|
tries to log positions using GPS. You can use it to calibrate your
|
|
|
|
|
step length by comparing GPS and step counter data. It can also get
|
|
|
|
|
pretty accurate recording of track walked in right circumstances.

Tap bottom part of the screen to select display (text or map for
|
|
|
|
|
now). Point watch to new direction, then tap top left part of screen
|
|
|
|
|
to indicate a turn.

Map shows blue line for track from dead reckonging, and green line for

track from GPS.

You probably want magnav installed (and calibrated) for useful
|
|
|
|
|
results, as it provides library with better compass.
