The Platypus is stranger than you think.

Platypuses have no nipples.  After the young hatch, the mother oozes milk from the pores all over her body.

The male platypus has a poison barb on the inside of its hind legs.  The purpose of this weapon is uncertain.

While often compared to the beaver, the platypus is only about 20 inches in length -- more comparable to the size of the muskrat.

The Platypus bill is actually just an elongated muzzle covered with much the same kind of tough skin found on a dog's nose.  This bill contains an electrically-sensitive organ that can detect the electrical signatures of the small aquatic animals it eats.

Correct latitude,longitude given roll, pitch and height
« on: October 26, 2011, 08:10:44 PM »
I am new here, so if this is posted in the wrong category please forgive me.

I am trying to find an algorithm which corrects a set of latitude, longitude values with roll and pitch. The real world example is a vehicle with a GPS receiver at a given height. If this vehicle is driven on a slope, the GPS position provided by the receiver is not the correct position at ground level.

Is there a some sample code or formula one can use?

THANKS
