Abstract :
This paper presents proposed walking distance measurement method for hand-help GPS receivers. The method is based purely on GPS receiver output. The following requirements can be set for hand held GPS receiver distance measurement: The operation of the distance measurement must be autonomous. The distance measurement must work under any condition, where the receiver is operable The distance measurement is based purely on receiver output The distance measurement must be accurate enough, so that the user feels convenient using it The preliminary test results are presented.
