Way Points and Gps Coordinates for driving in Simulink

I want to produce a waypoints concept from Gps coordinates in Simulink, so that the car follows the waypoints. Can someone please help me?

Are you talking about " Driving Scenario Designer". Design driving scenarios, configure sensors, and generate synthetic data - MATLAB (mathworks.com). Can you please elborate what do you mean by Waypoint concept. So that i can help you better.

Yes, i tried there to get coordinates of way points in Gps-Format, but it didn`t work. Do you have any Idea how i can that? It doesnt have to be on "Driving Scenario Designer". It can also be in other way, i mean the way points in Gps-Coordinates. Thanks a lot.

Hello Ihsan,

As per my understanding, you want to retrieve coordinates in GPS Format.

For the same, you can use the function "local2latlon" which helps you convert local cartesian coordinates to geographic coordinates. For example,

% Establish an anchor point in the geographic coordinate system.
origin = [42.3648, -71.0214, 10.0];

% Generate local route in Cartesian coordinates, x, y, and z.
z = zeros(1,101);    
x = 0:1000:100000;   
y = x;               

% Convert the local route coordinates to geographic coordinates, latitude and longitude.
[lat,lon] = local2latlon(x,y,z,origin);

% Visualize the route on a map.
zoomLevel = 12;
player = geoplayer(lat(1),lon(1),zoomLevel);
plotRoute(player,lat,lon);

For more information, you can refer to the following documentation:

Convert local Cartesian coordinates to geographic coordinates - MATLAB local2latlon (mathworks.com)

Hi Sakshay,

thanks for your answer. But i want to convert GPS Format to cartesian coordinates.
