Precision means everything when it comes to crunching speed and acceleration.

Picture this: you are a geologist charting a remote beach on an island in Indonesia. This particular beach is only accessible at certain times of day because of the tide and land formations in the surrounding area. To get there, you must travel by boat, and you are charged with documenting this locations proximity in relationship to the other islands as well as altitude and other specific data. And if that wasn’t challenging enough, you have to travel light. How would you gather all this information?

Or try this one: you are a competitor in the Baja 500, you know that motorcycle race that takes you over 500 miles of desolate, unforgiving Mexican wasteland? You need to get your time down, closely monitor the efficiency of your vehicle and rely on precise navigation instruments because there is no road, no signs and no civilization.

Knowing where you are is just the beginning.

Maybe you own a fleet business, where you must manage and maintain the transport of cargo by various vehicles to far reaching places. You would want to know precise calculations in terms of how long each trip takes, how efficiently the vehicles manage the distance, and you would want to collect that data over time, right?

Well, there is a simple solution to all these specific needs with recent advances in GPS Tracking and Speedometer technology. It is now possible to track distance and altitude, or measure acceleration and orientation, all from a 2 in 1 device powered by Intel® Core™ M processors. All kinds of professionals, from mechanics to cartographers, could benefit from this relatively new innovation that reduces the need for special equipment and adds versatility to the data collection and sharing.

The Swift Navigator app by BeetRoot Software http://www.beetrootsoftware.com is a dashboard-style tracking app that achieves near real-time speed, heading, distance, acceleration and altitude. The app utilizes a proprietary algorithm to calculate distance and acceleration.

Intuitive display and large attractive dials and gauges make the information easy to read. Extensive data tracking and logging helps users assess their stats easily, plus storing and sharing data sets is a snap.

A myriad of possible uses can come into play with this app-based technology; it has only begun to move into specialized skills but the possibilities continue to expand. Harnessing next-level tracking and mapping tools is one way that professionals can lighten their load and refine their data, and that makes their job easier.

The Swift Navigator app is now enabled for 2 in 1 devices powered by Intel Core M processors. To download the app, visit: https://sellfy.com/p/gF0T/.
