Development of a path tracking system for GPS denied environment

Navigation applications such as Google Maps and Waze fail to function at global positioning system (GPS) denied environments. This is typically the primary problem faced by mountain hikers who have lost their way in a dense forest or a dementia patient who has lost his/her way. Navigation applicatio...
