GPS based naval navigation system on Pocket PC platform

This paper presents a GPS based system for naval navigation and the development process of such system. In this paper path finding algorithm for naval navigation is proposed that is appropriate for implementation on Pocket PC device. The implementation of the proposed system requires some specific adapting of a number of other algorithms and methods to run well on embedded systems like Pocket PC device. Experimental results are presented using developed configuration. Adriatic coast is used as surroundings, because it is highly indented, so it presents one of the most demanding challenges.
