ArticlesPortable Mapping System


November 1994 / What's New / Portable Mapping System

Infrared Technologies' (Columbia, MD) GPS video-based mapping system (from $7995) displays GPS satellite data from different mapping sources. The system consists of a 50-MHz 486DX2 or 75-MHz 486DX4 laptop with an internal CD-ROM, a GPS receiver, and aviation and terrain-mapping software that lets you display your physical location in real time. A video option lets you encode the GPS data onto a videotape and then play back and review the information; at the same time, the exact position is plotted and displayed on the electronic map on the laptop's screen.
