1hz GPS groundcourse question

Quick question. Is the groundcourse angle from sirf moduals tangent to the current path or is it the angle between the current location and the last location reported 1 second earlier?I assume of it were tangent - and more accurate- it would be doing more internal calculations than I think it does, so I'm skeptical. This is a little hard to test so if someone has the answer it would save me a ton of time.Thanks.Jason

  • Hi Jason,
    Not sure, but they probably are just giving you the arctan of their velocity vectors, since that it needed for the calc anyway. Take a stream of data and compare the two (atan2 of velocity and their reported heading) in a walking test down the street...
