1. GPS Navigation System ET 493 - Fall 2017
By: Jordan Melancon, Dylan Landry, Miguel Rodriguez Advisor: Dr. Koutsougeras Professor: Dr. Koutsougeras

2. Introduction
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of satellites that orbit the earth.
Each satellite transmits a unique signal and orbital parameters that allow GPS devices to decode and compute the precise location of the satellite.
GPS receivers use this information and trilateration to calculate a user's exact location.
GPS has advanced to the point where it is being used in self driving cars.

3. Objectives
The main objective for our project is to assemble a GPS system that:
can be installed in any type of vehicle
will drive itself autonomously
as it continues to advance it will recalculate its coordinates to achieve the set up goal trajectory or path

4. Parts List
Arduino Yun
RC Car
GPS Module
App Coder

5. Delivarables
Find a way to get the rc car's current longitude and latitude from gps module.
Implement a system to determine which location and angles the car needs to face to get to its location if facing a different area.
Make sure the car continuously checks to make sure it is still following the correct path.
Design an app to work with the arduino for GPS coordinates to send to arduino on RC car.

6. Timeline
September - Order the parts, plan out the project, model how the project will work.
October - Start designing the app, setting up rc car for arduino, figure out how to work gps module on Arduino.
November - bring all of the parts together, correct any interfacing issues, debug and test the project.
Next Semester - Include object detection and obstacle avoidance and improve its capabilities.
