## 1. Overview
|
||
|
||
"Military operations rely on the position,
|
||
navigation and timing (PNT) data that GPS
|
||
can provide. In combat, the accuracy of
|
||
PNT data can mean the difference between
|
||
life and death. Non-military GPS receivers
|
||
simply aren’t good enough when lives are
|
||
on the line" (Extracted from the real life manual)
|
||
|
||
that's where the MicroDAGR comes in, here's a list of it's features (in arma 3) :
|
||
|
||
- Compass and headings.
|
||
- Date and hour synced to the mission.
|
||
- Elevation (above or below sea level)
|
||
- Current speed.
|
||
- GPS with topographic and satellite view.
|
||
- Creating, naming, deleting waypoints.
|
||
- Friendly identification (BLUFOR tracker need to be on)
|
||
- The MicroDAGR is also able to connect to your vector to retrieve data from it.
|
||
|
||
