  • Systems and methods for creating maps using GPS systems
    Patent number: 6236938
    Abstract: A system and method for calculating and storing the location of objects. The system includes a computing device, a global positioning system (GPS) receiver in communication with the computing device, and a range finder in communication with the computing device. The GPS receiver obtains a latitude location and a longitude location of a first position and stores them in the computing device. Next, the GPS receiver obtains a latitude location and a longitude location of a second position and stores them in the computing device. A range finder is then used to locate a distance from the second position to a third position, which is stored in the computing device. The third position is the position of the object for which a location reading is sought. To calculate the latitude and longitude location of the third position, the computing device calculates an azimuth for the third position using the first and second position locations stored in the computing device.
