Field Test 1 : Logging GPS from Putrajaya to Batu Pahat


Sample python logger used in this field testing.


Sample GPS Log with info window tracking from Plus Pagoh Toll to Batu Pahat, Johore town


The path taken from Putrajaya to Batu Pahat,


Sample logging output from Nokia E71 GPS Tracker


The aim for this field test is to do stress testing on the Python GPS logger running on my Nokia E71. The logger will write GPS and Time data into text file every 60 secs. Average cruising speed on my wife's Toyota Altis is 120kmh - 140kmh on the highway.

From the log file,
1. Must be able to upload to the server and automatic plot on Google MAP
2. Have to write a Python script to automate the upload using HTTP transport.

From the report
1. Calculate covered distance in meters.
2. Calculate each node covered distance
3. Calculate average speed
4. Calculate speed from node to node

Field Testing Reports
1. The logging was successful
2. Log file size is 86kb in size
3. Abto to upload and automatic plot without problem
