Microsoft thinks of a system to track the road when the GPS does not work

Earlier this month we saw a prototype built by Microsoft: The Menlo . We asked the utility of this device in light of the barometer, the necessary instrument for measuring atmospheric pressure. Today we get the answer through a presentation at the conference which occurred MobileHCI Lisbon.

The prototype Menlo serves to test a new technology useful while traveling. On some points, especially if covered by a high vegetation, the device may have difficulty docking the satellite signal. Menlo, thanks to the application Greenfield manages to cover that time frame.
