Distance and area measurement techniques based on GPS
Konecký, Jakub ; Číž, Radim (referee) ; Lattenberg, Ivo (advisor)
The aim of my dissertation work was to create an application for pocket PC with operating system Windows Mobile and touch screen, an application that would enable to position the current location of the pocket PC based on the GPS data, on distance measurement between two and more points of which the location is obtained from GPS, and on measurement of territory surface defined by certain number of points obtained from the GPS. The application also enables to display the characteristics of the received GPS signal, information about the number of visible satellites and also information about maximum deviation from positioning. In order to increase the accuracy of the positioning, an averaging function has been implemented. As additional function, a possibility of route location has been created. It measures the passed distance and records some other route characteristics. The application has been successfully tested on pocket PC E-ten M600+ and GPS receiver Navilock but it has been designed with general-purpose and should be compatible with all devices working with operating system Windows Mobile and touch screen. The text section of my dissertation work describes the positioning principle on the basis of satellites with known position, deals with the accuracy of these systems and describes few possibilities how to increase their accuracy. It also discusses the NMEA 0183 Protocol that is used by the majority of GPS modules for communication. The text section also describes several mathematic and cartographic calculations needed for realization of the application. In the end of the text section there is a detailed description of the created application.

Testing of GPS devices for mobile mapping (mobile mapping with GPS)
BLAŽEK, Martin
The diploma thesis studies accuracy of cheap GPS devices intended for mobile mapping in the landscape. Methodlogy for testing the accuracy of two GPS devices was established on the base of studied literature and apllied to two different GPS devices. The first device is PDA ASUS A639 connected by Bluetooth with external GPS reciever Navilock BT-338 and the second one is PDA ASUS A639 using its inbuilt GPS chipset. The result of testing is firstly comparison of accuracy of these two GPS devices and secondly the elements, which influnce their accuracy the most. The database of results is large enough to make some general conclusions concerning the accuracy of different GPS devices and their usage in the process of mobile mapping.
