Has That GPS Been Tested?

With the continuing acceleration of dependence upon GPS for the most important functions of daily life, accuracy of GPS devices grows increasingly significant as well.  While accuracy—unprecedented accuracy—remains the very element in GPS technology that has led to the popularity and rapidly increasing application of GPS systems, precision demanded in multiple situations requires testing and calibrating options that provide security to the millions who now depend on GPS—whether they know that they are doing so or not!

Developing Technology Testing

As products are being developed with GPS technology used to control powerful vehicles and machines, GPS simulators can provide accurate feedback. By reviewing data that these simulators replay from captured recordings, developers can produce GPS guided vehicles, machines, or devices that have been tested and adjusted before they hit the market. With the relatively low cost of a GPS simulator such as LabSat, this developmental stage testing can be available to a broad market, resulting in the production of more stable GPS devices.

Commercial Test Driving

With GPS technology to cover nearly every aspect of driving, reliable simulators that enable a broad range of testing enable the quality and safety of GPS enhanced vehicles. A system such as the recently developed and released VBOX3i enables accurate testing and verification of GPS directed tasks related to driving as well as precise measurements of speed, angles, and distance. Enhanced by antennas and crafted to provide statistics on a broad range of driving contexts, this device records and reports the data that improves driving conditions for all types of consumers.

Off-Road and Water Calibrating

Since GPS devices become smaller and more portable, testing for proper calibration with a GPS simulator should also be available in portable devices. The VBOX provides the answer for this need. Simplicity and smallness combine in this popular calibrator that has multiple uses. Along with the standard validating of ADAS systems, testing of breaks, and anti-deviation or lane departure warning technology, the compact GPS simulator also provides needed services for all types of vehicles from bikes to boats—and more.

Expanding dependence on GPS demands expanding testing and calibrating tools. And the market appears to be keeping up.
