GPS Sensor - QuirkyCort/gears GitHub Wiki

This virtual sensor provides the X and Y position and altitude of the robot. The center of the map is usually (0,0,0), and the robot starts facing towards the positive Y direction.

Working Principles (Simulator)

This simply returns the position of the GPS sensor. Note that the GPS sensor is not necessarily at the center of the robot!

Differences from a real sensor

• This sensor doesn't exists for a real robot, and the closest real equivalent would be an actual GPS unit.

• The simulated sensor have sub-millimeter accuracy and is perfectly stable. A real GPS sensor would at best provide accuracy in the tens of cm, and will suffer from noise.
