The Use of Microprocessors for Track Control and Data Verification on Hydrographic Surveys in Canada
In the mid-sixties the Canadian Hydrographic Service began to investigate methods of providing computer assistance to hydrographers that were using conventional data collection techniques. Navbox , a microprocessor-controlled survey aid, is a product of these investigations. It provides straight lin...
