The integration of GPS programs.

From the beginning we talk about GPS, we know that it is an advanced surveying equipment to
measure, calculate and make digital graphic references in high precision, in this there are certain
programs or geographic information systems that facilitate the reading and collection of data in
the field.

Integration systems

GIS, which provides our GPS to locate and collect information efficiently and accurately. The data
that provide us with this information are, for example, the forests, roads, lighting pole since these
are reflected in the satellite and we know that these sites will not move them easily, so they are
fixed reference points where they help us to locate ourselves in the working margin where we
perform said measurements. Many of this data can already be viewed online, also modified or
searched again for the location taken in real time.

Also of the integrated applications we have the GPS / LRF which facilitates the opening of the
signal of our GPS if we are working in forested areas or those who work in civil works of bridges or
indoor projects, this is done with GPS laser units / integrated laptops or laser rangefinders (LRF),
this allows us to focus the signal from our satellites, on the GPS antenna in a nearby open area,
this allows us to run normally without signal interruptions, this program runs from a computer PC
where it accumulates the data without problems, this allows us to collect the data in real time, this
system looks very attractive for people who work in agroforestry industry, civil engineering among
others.

Another applicability of the integrations to our GPS, is the GPS / neutral adjustment (DR), this
applicability has begun to drive in vehicles with the objective of location, and movement in real
time, with this we can evaluate the quality of the tires, fuel savings, location for theft prevention,
odometer and warranties thereof, also measuring distances between one point to another, this
steering version and information is obtained from a gyroscope.

The most important GPS / cellular integration

Since 98% of adults have a Smartphone as a communication device with it we can facilitate the
lives of billions of users throughout the world, easily mixing the integrated voice plus GPS location,
this function is very precise at the time of attending an emergency or fire, since a quarter of the
population calls the emergency number 911, by means of a cell phone, sending its location
facilitating the rescue route, nowadays it is very indispensable in the way of making tourist tours
which through this we can locate without any problem where we want to go, placing in the
application where we want to reach, locating ourselves by the closest route, showing us if there
are obstacles on the road, warning us of the weather etc, forming an indispensable tool for day to
day, having more effective updates over time.
