Abstract
A GPS/GLONASS travel recorder which utilizes the accurate position and velocity information determinable from radio frequency signals emanating from GPS and/or GLONASS satellites and ground stations to create an accurate route map by joining the frequent accurate position data points with user selectable or automatically selected route symbology. Features of the route locality are automatically printed on a displayed map of the travelled route from prior stored legends that are designated with approximate position location, or can be inserted by a user with keyboard or mouse entry. The computer processor of the GPS/GLONASS travel recorder calculates distance traveled by the carrier, time of travel, height, and other user chosen parameters that are programmed into the processor. Such data are stored for later retrieval as is the route map.
