WORK ACCOMPLISHED:
This week, I primarily worked on the navigation generation aspect of the project. Essentially, I worked on the code for suggesting the next direction instruction based on the user’s current location. Since we will begin working on integration of two distinct subsystems, one potential risk is how the subsystems are talking to each other. For now, the tentative solution is that the GPS subsystem will be periodically writing the user’s GPS location to a text file, and then the navigation subsystem will be reading that GPS location from that file. One issue that may arise from this is the timing between the two processes and how outdated the data may become based on the timing at which the navigation subsystem reads that data. Additionally, the accuracy of the GPS data will affect the functionality of the navigation system
PROGRESS:
I am slightly behind with tasks; I would have liked to begin integration of the navigation and GPS functionalities by now.
NEXT WEEK’S DELIVERABLES:
For next week, I will be collaborating with other members of the team in integration of the navigation subsystem and the GPS subsystems in order to have a fully functional system that tracks the user’s GPS location in relation to the route for their journey.
