This document describes a virtual distance measuring tape that uses GPS and a graphical LCD. It measures distance by calculating the difference in latitude and longitude coordinates from GPS. The tool allows users like surveyors, scientists, hunters and landowners to easily obtain relative and absolute position information at low cost. It integrates GPS technology with a graphical display and keypad interface to provide distance measurements.

Much has been written about applying GPS to surveying. At relatively low cost, GPS provides a reliable means to get both relative and absolute positional information. The low cost of the technology has lead to a proliferation of GPS receivers, making this technology common not only among scientists and surveyors but also hunters, hikers, campers, fishermen, and landowners. n this Pro!ect we have used GPS technology for distance measurement. we are measuring distance using GPS latitude and longitude. Along with GPS we have used Graphical "#$ for $isplaying %esult and keypad for human interface.
