Table 2 Summary of track length estimations according to GPS telemetry and dead-reckoning for data presented in Table 1. The tortuosity was calculated as average change in heading between measurements (at 40 Hz)
From: Step by step: reconstruction of terrestrial animal movement paths by dead-reckoning
