It wouldn't be too hard, just double-integrate the acceleration to produce a plot of your relative position. Attaching it to the stand and end points of the GPS trace should remove the zeroth order accumulation errors, and then you can start to play around with more fancy things using intermediate GPS data to adjust for non-linearities in the accelerometer readings. I did pretty much this in one dimension for a physics prac a few year ago at uni :) _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
