  • Patent number: 9952330
    Abstract: A computer readable medium containing processor executable instructions configured to perform the steps of (i) monitoring a positional accuracy of location information calculated based on signals received from GNSS satellites, (ii) if the positional accuracy passes a quality check, using the location information to continuously perform a calibration of data received from one or more sensors and (iii) if the positional accuracy does not pass the quality check, cease the calibration of the data received from the sensors, wherein dead reckoning information is calculated from the data received from the sensors.

  • Patent number: 9574882
    Abstract: A system includes a processor circuit and a computer readable storage medium. The processor circuit may be configured to plug into an on board diagnostic connector of a vehicle. The computer readable storage medium generally embodies computer executable instructions. The computer executable instructions, when executed by the processor circuit, enable the processor circuit to communicate with one or more busses of the vehicle and to communicate navigational information to an auxiliary device.

  • Publication number: 20160313450
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a first antenna, a second antenna, a processor and a memory. The first antenna may be configured to connect to a GPS satellite. The second antenna may be configured to connect to the GPS satellite. The first antenna is positioned separately from the second antenna. The processor may be configured to execute instructions. The memory may be configured to store the instructions that, when executed, perform the steps of (i) calculating a first value measured through a connection between the first antenna and the GPS satellite, (ii) calculating a second value measured through a connection between the second antenna and the GPS satellite, and (iii) determining a correction value to compensate for local conditions by analyzing differences between the first value and the second value.

  • Publication number: 20160291164
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising an antenna, a processor and a memory. The antenna may be configured to connect to (i) a wireless network and (ii) a GPS satellite. The processor may be configured to execute instructions. The memory may be configured to store the instructions. When executed, the instructions may perform a step of locating a reference device connected to the wireless network. The reference device may have (a) an identification code and (b) a correction value. The instructions may perform a step of determining whether the correction value passes a quality check. If the correction value passes the quality check, the correction value may be used to compensate for local conditions when connecting to the GPS satellite.
