GPS Technology for Pilots and Athletes
Garmin GPS was designed initially for the flight usage enabling pilots to navigate through the sky in safety. In time, the Garmin GPS flight filtered to many other aspects and fields such as sports and is now used for many different activities with the various models specifically designed.
In recent days, hikers, boaters, trekkers, drivers, and pilots use GPS technology. Garmin has bought GPS units for pilots, long back. This technology enabled them to know the location, where they are flying.
However, GPS units used by pilots have pilot friendly features. They contain inbuilt record book, which tracks their flying hours. They automatically blink the departure as well as arrival locations. They offer extended airstrip centerlines that help the pilot to take off and land down at runway. They also include the U.S. catalog of airway obstacles that allow the pilots to visualize and prevent high-rise hazards in their flying paths.
Garmin, the maestro in GPS technology has recently invented Garmin GPS flight (GPSmap 196), which works as a panel. It has a grey scale big screen, contains detailed map, uploaded with steering guidance and have hordes of several pilot friendly functions.
The steering guidance of Garmin GPS flight is viewable through the graphic Horizontal Situation Indicator (HIS) and (Vertical Navigation) VNAV indicator. Garmin GPS flight offers full view of vertical as well as horizontal airway.
Apart from this, Garmin has also bought Garmin forerunners, which are for sport purposes to give accurate distance, time and details of altitude, pace to the roadrunners as well as to triathletes, while racing. Garmin forerunners include GPS and they exist in several ranges such as Garmin forerunner 101, 201, 202, 301, 205, 305 and 50.
The 202, 305, 205 and 301 models comprise of a docking station as well as software that tracks the points. Individuals may install the software in a computer, wherein they can see the race map. It also records the heartbeats, which can also be seen on the computer.
