When tracking bike rides, bikers will often use their phones or a wearable GPS device. However, both of these pose inconveniences and safety concerns when biking as they require significant distraction to use. The goal of my project is to design a system which can be used to accurately track bike rides while removing the safety concerns faced with the current common devices used. This system actively tracks and displays distance, while also storing the geographical path of the ride so that it can be uploaded and viewed later on a computer. The system will be tested by tracking several different paths using different devices and comparing the different measurements between them. In the end, it was found that the location accuracy was within 0.0001% of a cell phone, while the measured path distance was within 5% of a cell phone. Thus, the accuracy of this system was adequate for the intended goal of the system.
