Can the iphone detect its movement in terms of distance?
Would one be able to use a built in function on an iphone to determine the distance the phone has moved so that the speed of movement can be calculated?
Basically my question is
can an iphone detect its position and distance moved without using the gps?
thanks
You probably could with some clever math.
Basically, integrate over the accelerometer data.
