#navigation — Public Fediverse posts

Ich habe soeben die aktuelle Version der Openfietsmap vom 22. August in QMapShack und auf meinem Garmin Oregon 650 installiert. 🗺️ 🚲 😀

Nicht, dass ich die neueste Version unbedingt brauchen würde, aber man weiß ja nie, wohin mich mein Fahrrad 🚲 oder auch mein 🛴 Tretroller führen. 😉

„Die größte Herausforderung bestand darin, ein System zu entwickeln, das in der Lage ist, das Gelände in Echtzeit zu erkennen, ohne die natürlichen Fortbewegungsfähigkeiten des Insekts zu beeinträchtigen“, sagt Studienleiter Keisuke Morishima.

A good example where motivation driven by #religion causes a major setback in #science & progress.

150AD, we already had awesome #maps if you take into account the resources back then!

The invention of precise #clocks was one of the most important developments that lead to our modern image of the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock#Navigation

Enormous amount of money was invested into clockwork development suitable for maritime #navigation:

Can anyone recommend a good free / foss-Type navigation or guidance app for android that could be useful for a long (1 to 2 week) walk? I’m trying to avoid Komoot, am interested to see if you have any good suggestions 👍 Thanks in advance 🙂 maybe boost if you like to increase range.

#Navigation für #E_Lkw: #eTrucker-App erhält weitere Funktionen.

Der „ #Elektrotrucker “ #Tobias_Wagner hat 2025 mit seinem Team die #eTrucker-App entwickelt – eine #Ladenavigations-App für #Elektro- #Lkw. Nun spendieren die Initiatoren der App ein größeres Update. So lassen sich ab sofort u.a. Pausen besser einplanen und die App bietet nun eine #Ladekarten-Empfehlung.

Spent this weekend implementing a simple addition to Charon: It now shows the travel speed while GPS is active.

Initially I calculated it myself based on GPS position, but then I realized I could just use the GPS NMEA sequence that reports the travel speed directly (and much more accurately). Luckily this means there's now also a fallback when not using GPS NMEA mode.

Open Source Map/Navigation apps, have some of the best features of Wayze/Google-Maps, but without the privacy issues

- Voice directions work fine without sending your data anywhere
- You can save your trips right on your phone
- Offline maps keep working when you lose cell signal
- Topographic maps show terrain without an internet connection

Real-time traffic data & rerouting is still pretty exclusive to the "big-boys" though

Est-ce que quelqu'un connait #navigatrix, une distri #linux dédiée à la #navigation mais qui n'est plus maintenue depuis 2021. Je me demandais si on a la liste des logiciels qu'il faudrait ajouter à une #Debian ou assimilée pour avoir les mêmes fonctionnalités.

#GPS and #Maps #Navigation tool

When switching out from Google products, I found #MagicEarth and decided to try it out. The subscription was €0.99/year.

Either I didn't get it was for the first year only or they changed something, but the price has now increased to €14.99/year.

Overall, I had a good experience, even if the "search for a shop and check opening hours" habit never worked. But I wonder if it's worth the price, if there are better options, if you have advices?

Thoughts?

Taxi Drivers Rarely Die Of Alzheimer’s – How Complex Mental Maps And Spatial Reasoning Protect Your Brain [why knowing your way around might help you stay sharp]

“Taxi and ambulance drivers are less likely than workers in almost any other job to die of Alzheimer’s disease. That was the surprising result of a 2024 study examining the death certificates of nearly 9 million people in the U.S…
Of the 9 million death certificates from January 2020 to December 2022 that researchers examined, taxi and ambulance drivers had the lowest risk of dying from Alzheimer’s disease out of 443 occupations. After adjusting for age, sex, race, ethnicity and education, roughly 1 in 100 taxi and ambulance drivers died of Alzheimer’s, compared with 1 in 60 people overall.
This pattern did not extend to other driving jobs. The researchers concluded that the key to reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s was not driving itself but continuous real-time navigation: the constant work of locating yourself in space, tracking a destination and updating a mental map as conditions change. Drivers whose jobs relied on fixed or predetermined routes, like bus drivers and aircraft pilots, didn’t seem to experience a similar advantage.
Researchers believe the association between navigation-heavy work and lower Alzheimer’s risk centers on the hippocampus, a part of the brain that governs memory and spatial navigation. It’s one of the first brain regions that Alzheimer’s damages: Problems with spatial navigation and orientation are among the earliest signs of the disease, sometimes surfacing before obvious memory loss.
In one landmark 2000 study [link above], neuroscientists compared the brains of licensed London taxi drivers with those of people who did not drive cabs. Their findings provided the first evidence via structural imaging that regions of the adult brain can measurably change under sustained navigational demand. To earn a license, London cabbies must memorize more than 25,000 streets within a 6-mile radius of Charing Cross, a challenge known as “The Knowledge” that takes three to four years…”
