Abstract

This paper presents the implementation of a mobile platform navigation module with GPS modules and magnetometer sensors. A complete development of the mobile platform navigation module is provided, with a selection of all components used. The testing of all components individually, as well as together in the navigation module, is described. Suggestions are given for further development of the navigation module, in the form of adding sensors and movement algorithms.
