Abstract
To provide a portable GPS velocity/distance meter which may seek a suitable movement velocity by removing an affect of arm swing, save power consumption of a device, and to grip a movement condition of a carrier at a remote position, it is composed of a GPS signal receiving portion for measuring the movement velocity from a Doppler frequency, a microcomputer, an input section for setting a control condition or the like and calculation of various data including positional interval data of the GPS signal receiving section, a display section for displaying the movement velocity or the like and a transmit-receive section. Then, the microcomputer is provided with a control unit for controlling the GPS signal receiving section to intermittently perform the positional operation on the basis of the positional measurement interval and a velocity averaging unit for averaging the movement velocity.
