Now generally useful magnetic sensor and flux-gate processing electronic compass. Although the GPS navigation, positioning, velocity and orientation has a wide range of applications, but because of its signal by terrain and object blocking, precision is greatly reduced, cannot even use. Especially in built-up urban areas and lush forests, validity of the GPS signal is only 60%. And in the case of stationary, GPS will not give directional information. To make up for this shortfall, orientation and navigation methods can be used. Electronic compass products are designed to meet such needs. It can be effective compensation of the GPS signal, guarantees 100% effective navigation orientation information, even after the loss of GPS signal lock also works, to "throwing stars are not lost."Application of electronic compassRun hardwareLenovo K860i compared to the previous generation K860 upgrade is that the quad core Samsung Exynos 4412 frequency from 1.4GHz to 1.6GHz, memory is also doubled, if not open too many tasks on the intuitive experience, basically not feel much difference, after opening multiple background tasks, large memory advantage is more clear. By running to the reference below.① Rabbit reviewAnn rabbit rabbit evaluation is a to Android phone, and flat for performance evaluation, and run points of software, it can a key run full test project, through "memory performance", and "CPU integer performance", "CPU floating-point performance", and "2D, and 3D drawing performance", and "database IO", and "SD card read, and wrote speed" 8 items performance test, on phone of hardware performance do a overall score, its interface simple clear, deeply domestic DIY players of praise.② The Quadrant Advanced testQuadrant Advanced is Android platform in the most veteran while is reputation best of performance test software, it based on Java language, through CPU, and memory, and 2D graphics, and 3D graphics, and entered output, multiple aspects to on flat for integrated performance of test evaluation, and provides has variety mainstream mobile equipment for compared, let we more intuitive to see flat of integrated can scored situation, due to test of project refinement and many, The software in several well-known foreign technology was praised in the media, is a very good comprehensive performance evaluation software.③ Vellamo testVellamo is a benchmark application developed by Qualcomm (similar to the Neocore), it can make you mobile browser to test the performance and stability, including Java script performance, rendering, networking, and user interface. The tool also includes a number of children, but we only take a total score, score higher then the higher degree of optimization of mobile phone browser, Web browsing experience better.④ Linpack test for AndroidIs a test of the Linpack for Android Android Tablet CPU floating-point performance of the system performance test software. The software through the use of Gauss elimination method to solve an n times of dense linear algebra test to evaluate floating-point performance of the Android tablet. New versions of the Linpack performance test software for Android can be implemented at the request of high load operation full of calls to two processors in a dual-core Tablet purpose, to test the accuracy.Standby capacityLenovo K860i mobile phone with removable battery design, equipped with a 2250mAh battery, achieve mainstream standards.
