Introduction

1. A hand compass is a compact magnetic compass capable of one-hand use and fitted with a sighting device to record a
precise bearing or azimuth to a given target or to determine a location Hand or sighting compasses include instruments
with simple notch-and-post alignment , prismatic sights, direct or lensatic sights, and mirror (reflected-image) sights.

2. The term hand compass is used by some in the forestry and surveying professions to refer to a certain type of hand
compass optimized for use in those fields, also known as a forester or cruiser compass. A hand compass may also include
the various one-hand or 'pocket' versions of the surveyor's or geologist's transit.

ZIGBEE Module

ZIGBEE Module:

Supported Network Topologies: Point-to-point, Point-to-multipoint &

Peer-to-peer

Number of Channels: (software selectable) 16 Direct Sequence Channels

Addressing Options: PAN ID, Addresses, Cluster IDs and Endpoints

128 bit encryption

8 Digital IO pins

AT and API Command Modes for configuring module parameters

Fully FCC certified

Transmit Power: 2 mw(3 dBm)

GPS Module

GPS Module:

This GPS Receiver Modem is based on SIMCOMs SIM28M/SIM28ML

GPS Module. SIM28M is a stand-alone or A-GPS receiver. With built in
LNA, SIM28M can relax antenna requirement and dont need for
external LNA.

SIM28M can track as low as -165dBm signal even without network

assistance.

SIM28M has excellent low power consumption characteristics (acquisition

17mA, tracking 16mA). SIM28M supports various location and navigation
applications, including autonomous GPS, QZSS.

Software Requirement
1. MPLAB compiler
2. Proteus for simulation of circuit
3. Protel for layout of circuit
4. Flash magic for serial communication.

Advantages

Robust working under any condition

Wide range of communication due to zigbee module

Reliable as compared to existing system

high accuracy

Autonomous in nature

Digital output

Suitable for long distance calculations

User friendly

Can be used for both day and night conditions

Disadvantages

To get the quick response, regular maintenance & repairing is must.

It is not flexible for more transmitters.

Battery operated, so charging is must

Bulky in nature

Applications

For Research Purpose.

Can be used in road project, town planning, railway engineering.

Transmission range can be extended by suitable advanced device.

Future scope

For future implementation we may come up with bearing calculations and

also with more compactness by using high end microcontroller in order to
improve speed of execution of algorithm and also reducing comparative
cost.
