Vehicle Navigation System
Product Description:
The Vehicle Navigation System is used to track the navigated path and record its details in a CSV file. On a Leaflet map, we display the navigated path, and upon completion, the CSV file can be downloaded. Additionally, users can easily upload the CSV file at any time, and the uploaded details will be shown on the map.
How it works:
The Vehicle Navigation System leverages GPS hardware modules known as base and rover units. These modules communicate with satellites to obtain precise location data, ensuring accurate positioning at all times.
- Establish Connection with Base and Rover: The system begins by connecting to the base and rover GPS modules. These modules act as the backbone, providing real-time location data sourced directly from satellites.
- Real-Time Data Visualization: Once connected, our software displays user movements on an interactive map in real-time. This feature enables users to monitor their exact location, speed, and path trajectory with pinpoint accuracy.

Operation Steps:
- Initial Setup: Connect your tablet to the system's port. Verify the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) fix status. If not fixed, adjust the baud rate and COM port settings until a stable fix is achieved.
- Tracking and Recording: Start tracking your path by clicking the designated button. The map will dynamically show your vehicle's speed and route. Simultaneously, the system records this data into a CSV file for comprehensive tracking and analysis.
- Saving and Uploading: Upon completing your journey, click the stop button to prompt a popup. You can choose to save the recorded path details as a CSV file to a specified location. This file serves as a detailed record of your journey, ready for future reference.
- Visualization: To review past journeys or share data, utilize the upload feature in the right drawer. Simply upload the saved CSV file to visualize the tracked path on the map interface.
