How to use GPS to save yourself in the wild
In daily life, we will inevitably encounter some
accidents and unexpected situations, especially with the rise of outdoor sports
and adventures, more and more young people are keen to explore some original
undeveloped places, and this is also Increased accidents and dangers. If there
is a disaster in the wild or in the night, we need to know the exact location
of the phone in addition to the call, then how to get it?
Today's
smartphones are basically equipped with GPS chips. They can use GPS satellites
for positioning. Even if the phone has no signal, it can be used normally. It
can quickly find the nearest city, country and other areas in the wild, and
also allows search and rescue personnel to know where we are by mobile phone
positioning.
GPS origin
GPS is
the abbreviation of English Global Positioning System. It started in 1958 as a
project of the US military and was put into use in 1964. The main purpose is to
provide real-time, all-weather and global navigation services for the three major
areas of land, sea and air, and for military purposes such as intelligence
gathering, nuclear explosion monitoring and emergency communications. By 1994,
a GPS satellite system consisting of 24 satellites with a global coverage rate
of 98% had been deployed.
1, using the phone's built-in GPS chip, the following
Apple mobile phone as an example. Turn on the compass and you can determine
your GPS coordinates by using the two numbers "Northern Latitude" and
"East" below.
2. Place the acquired coordinates on the Gaode map to
get the current location and view the route. (Of course, it can be Baidu map,
Google map, see your usage habits)
Since mobile phone GPS positioning generally requires
online map service, that is to say, it is necessary to connect the network when
there is a signal, and upload the data and then mark the location on the map to
achieve the purpose of positioning. However, this positioning method can only
be used in the signal area, once it leaves the signal coverage area, there is
no way to use it. And even in areas with signals, online GPS positioning will
fail due to issues such as mobile phone traffic costs. This way we need to use
offline maps for GPS positioning. The reason why offline maps can use GPS positioning
without being connected to the Internet is because we download the map data to
the mobile phone.
3, pay attention to the power of the phone
The GPS chip of the smartphone needs to receive the
broadcast data of the satellite in real time to calculate and determine its
position. Since the position is constantly moving, it is necessary to
continuously receive the spatial coordinate data of the GPS satellite for
calculation. This process consumes a lot of CPU and memory, and the power
consumption of the mobile phone is also very large, and it is easy to run out
of power. So you need to pay attention to the power of your phone.
4, travel essentials - charging treasure
Traveling outside, if you don't have a 20,000 mAh
charging treasure, you are embarrassed to go out. Nowadays, smart phones are
big consumers of electricity. In the event of an emergency, the mobile phone is
guaranteed to have sufficient power to alarm and use GPS.
