Aerial survey navigation

GPS navigation for aerial survey and photogrammteric aircraft flights

Aerial survey navigation can navigate a small aircraft for aerial survey or photogrammetric flight by GPS. The base of navigation are flight axes.

Functions:

Import flight axes from *.csv file in this format:

Name,Start.latitude,Start.longitude,End.latitude,End.longitude,Tolerance(optional)

Navigation along flight axis

Display current location

Display overview of all flight axes

Display the flight axis with additional informations

- Maximal acceptable tolerance (Tolerance lines),

- Lines for aircraft turning

Automatically or manually switch flight axes

Change directon of flight axis

Display flight data and GPS data

- Altitude (meters or feets)

- Speed (km/h or kn)

- Deflection from axis

- Distance to start/end of axis

Tracklog record

Tracklog export to *.gpx file

Graphical scale

Possibility of working off-line

Possibility of UI and functionality customization
