#KnowledgeByte: #Quantum #Navigation is an emerging technology that uses the principles of quantum mechanics to provide highly accurate and reliable location and navigation services, without relying on vulnerable satellite signals.

Unlike GPS, which depends on signals from space, quantum navigation systems are self-contained and "unjammable" because they measure the movement of atoms from within a vehicle.

Эксперименты с Visual SLAM и стерео камерой PS5 HD для ROS 2

Это вторая статья из серии статей об использовании стерео камеры с ROS 2. В первой статье я рассказал о том как настроить камеру PS5 HD для использования в ROS 2. В этой статье я расскажу об использовании стерео камеры для визуального SLAM в связке с ROS 2. Конкретно мы попробуем RTAB-Map и ORB-SLAM 3. Кому интересно прошу под кат.

Ollie (Block Theme): Untermenüs per Hover statt Klick aktivieren

Wer das WordPress-Blocktheme Ollie verwendet, wird schnell bemerken: Bei Untermenüs im Navigationsblock muss man zunächst auf den übergeordneten Menüpunkt klicken, bevor sich das Untermenü öffnet. Das unterscheidet sich von vielen anderen Themes (z. B. Twenty Twenty-Five), bei denen ein einfaches Hovern mit der Maus ausreicht. In diesem Beitrag zeige ich, wie man dieses Verhalten direkt im Code-Editor des Block-Editors ändert.

#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.

“Swinburne University #Professor #AllisonKealy, an expert in #positioning, #navigation and #timing, told the ABC she had raised this exact scenario when she approached Telstra earlier this year while seeking support for a proposed critical #infrastructure #resilience #research centre.

Professor Kealy said the pitch to #telcos and other critical infrastructure operators was that they needed to identify shared points of failure before an outage exposed them.”

"We have been approaching all the critical infrastructure sectors to tell them, we have to act now,"

Priorities set by Business leaders and Politicians

Hype for the Future 214A: Chicago Communities

Weekly output: Google’s live lane guidance, Candela’s battery-electric hydrofoils

LISBON–I traveled here to speak at my ninth Web Summit conference in Europe via another EU city that I’m quite fond of, Barcelona. The Mozilla Foundation had the good taste to host its Mozilla Festival there and then provide me with a travel stipend to cover the event, so of course I was willing to start my Web Summit trip a few days early. Even though that left me little time at home between working a 15-hour day Tuesday as an election officer and then heading to Dulles Airport Wednesday afternoon.

11/4/2025: Safe to Go? Google Maps Adds ‘Live Lane Guidance’ for Polestar 4 EVs, PCMag

PCMag had two stories under my byline this week, and this was the one I actually wrote this week to cover an update to the built-in Google navigation in one of Polestar’s battery-electric vehicles. The other involved my editor updating a post I wrote in May about President Trump withdrawing his nomination of private astronaut and payments billionaire Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator, the new plot twist being that Trump had changed his mind again and had re-nominated Isaacman. I realize how confusing that last sentence can look. 

11/7/2025: This battery-electric hydrofoil could supercharge a ferry transformation, Fast Company

Two years after getting an introduction to the Swedish startup Candela’s battery-electric hydrofoil sport boats on the San Francisco Bay, I enjoyed an update of the experience on waters I know much better–the Potomac and the Anacostia. With a longer word count than I had for that PCMag report in the summer of 2023, I went into much more detail about Candela’s ambitions to get into the passenger-ferry business, its likely competition in that market, and potential obstacles to electrifying ferries.

"We now leave #navigation to our #phones. The result: more of us are getting hopelessly lost." #JohnHarris
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/27/smartphone-apps-gps-mountain-rescues-rise
"#GPS has cut us off from a basic human skill. It’s no wonder #mountain #rescuers are being called out so often. [...] Between 2019 and 2024, the total number of #rescues had increased by 24%, and there was a marked jump among the 18 to 24 age group, among whom callouts almost doubled. [...] across #Britain, there is evidently a mounting problem about the gap between people’s urge to experience wild and open spaces, and their ability to cope when they actually get there. [...] research suggesting that “people with greater lifetime GPS experience have worse #spatialmemory during self-guided navigation”. [...] retested 3 years after the initial research, when they found that “greater GPS use since initial testing was associated with a steeper decline in hippocampal-dependent spatial memory”. The #hippocampus is the part of the brain that deals with navigation: among London taxi drivers, the need to memorise so many geographical details was found to cause it to increase in size. But here were findings that suggested the opposite: reliance on automated #directions reducing people’s capacity to navigate for themselves." #cartography

Apple/Bing/Google Maps Alternatives

It’s the Gulf of Mexico. It was named that before the United States even existed, and Donald Trump doesn’t have the authority to name it anything else, no matter what his decaying fascist brain may think.

Despite this, the big tech companies of Alphabet, Apple, and Microsoft, have all updated their maps to reflect what Trump wants. They can cave all they want. We have options.

Instead of using a mapping service which is beholden to the country it’s headquartered in, there is an open and worldwide service we can use, including for navigation. OpenStreetMap, founded in 2004, uses a combination of GPS traces, public domain information, and crowdsourcing. As the name indicates, the mapping information is open source and available to anybody who wishes to access it. This includes app developers who might wish to use OSM for mobile device navigation software.

There are two apps in particular, available on both iPhone and Android. The first is OsmAnd (OpenStreetMap Automated Navigation Directions), while the second is Organic Maps. Both apps are open source and are free to use. OsmAnd has a paid tier to unlock features such as unlimited maps (you only download the maps you need), while Organic Maps is funded by donations. Both apps work offline, so you can navigate even when you hit a dead cell signal zone. Most importantly, both apps focus on user privacy, as neither app collects any user data.

GPS around the moon?

Multiple plans are underway to build and deploy GPS-like lunar satnav satellite constellations around the moon. NASA and others are developing interoperable standards for communications and position, navigation, and timing services > aka "LunaNet".

Nostalgia – Cartography & Projections On Network TV’s ‘West Wing’
--
https://youtu.be/UPaca-SrvEk?si=vhY84Z-_KopnQ083

Cool to see map geekiness pop up on network TV drama a few years back
--
• I am NOT a fan of the the Galls Peters - thinking that the Equal Earth Projection (https://equal-earth.com/) is vastly superior technically and ‘aesthetically pleasing’
• The 1569 Mercator projection was NOT designed as a ‘tool of cultural oppression’, that is a persistent myth - but rather was "... the standard map projection for navigation because it is unique in representing north as up and south as down everywhere while preserving local directions and shapes...”
• As a Trekkie, I also love that the actor John Billingsley - who plays Dr Flox - is the ‘lead scientist’…
