Jika anda tidak ada keperluan di atas, hotel-hotel budget sudah memadai. Antara hotel budget yang selesa di Kajang ialah Hotel Uptown. Hotel ini berhampiran Metro Point Kajang. Lihat peta kajang untuk lebih jelas.

Jumlah pakir kenderaan di Hotel Prescott Inn Kajang agak terhad. Ia terletak di basement level dan juga di aras G(tempat terbuka). Parkir di basement agak kurang sempit dan mungkin kurang selesa berbanding parkir di aras G.

Lobi hotel ini searas dengan cafetaria D'Muar iaitu nama cafetaria Hotel Prescott Metro Inn Kajang. Minum, bersarap atau makan tengahari di kafe ini sangat santai. Ruangannya luas dan dikelilingi dinding kaca yang membolehkan kita melihat kesibukan jalan di Jalan Semenyih-Kajang. Walau bagaimanapun, menu hidangannya adalah standard saja rasanya.

Hotel Prescott Metro Inn Kajang ini bukanlah hotel baharu. Jadi, terimalah saja kekurangan yang mungkin ada pada bilik air terutamanya. Tingkap bilik hotel ini ada yang boleh dibuka. Tidak hairanlah adakalanya anda boleh nampak baju bergantungan dari luar hotel ini. Tiada swimming pool di sini. Secara kesimpulannya, hotel Prescott Metro Inn Kajang ini menjanjikan keselesaan pada harga yang sederhana tinggi. Anda perlu mencuba sekali hotel ini sebelum mencuba hotel-hotel yang lain di Kajang.

IPD Kajang berada di sebelah kiri jalan, tidak jauh dari Prescott Metro Inn Kajang. Jaraknya kira-kira 100 m dan boleh berjalan kaki sahaja. Di kiri bangunan IPD Kajang ini ialah Sate Kajang Hj Samuri. Jomla kita makan sate!

Tourist Review of Kajang

The easiest way to get to Kajang is by commuter train. From the main KL Central station (KL Sentral), go to the KTM counter and buy a ticket to Kajang. As of right now (Feb 2004) I think it costs 2.80 ringgit one-way.
The ride should take you right around 30 minutes. Once you get out of the train station, there will be plenty of taxi drivers willing to take you anywhere. It will probably be 5 ringgit to take you to town. Or, you can wait for a bus out front (60 sen for the red and white, 70 sen for the blue and yellow). Stay on the station side of the road; that is, you want to head to the left.

OR, you can just turn left onto the road in front of the station and walk into Kajang town. It is about a 15-20 minute casual walk.
Once you're there, read my satay review here to see where to go! If you're doing public transportation, it's actually quite easy in Kajang. You have three choices: taxi, sum bus or bus mini. Taking a taxi from Kajang to anywhere , like the train station, will usually be at least 5 ringgit. Even though the train station is only about a 15-minute walk. But it's hot, so it's sometimes worth it.
The "sum bus" and the "bas mini" follow pretty much the same route. The sum bus is big, red and white. Cost varies, but starts at 60 sen. If you go to the university (UKM), it's 1.30 ringgit. The bas mini is a short, blue and yellow bus. Costs 70 sen to anywhere. Flat rate.

FACT SHEET  - TRAVELER'S GUIDE
Use GPS to Help You Travel to Kajang. By: Garmin What is GPS? The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the 1980s, the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.
	How it Works? GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth. GPS receivers take this information and use triangulation to calculate the user's exact location. Essentially, the GPS receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received. The time difference tells the GPS receiver how far away the satellite is. Now, with distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine the user's position and display it on the unit's electronic map. A GPS receiver must be locked on to the signal of at least three satellites to calculate a 2D position (latitude and longitude) and track movement. With four or more satellites in view, the receiver can determine the user's 3D position (latitude, longitude and altitude). Once the user's position has been determined, the GPS unit can calculate other information, such as speed, bearing, track, trip distance, distance to destination, sunrise and sunset time and more.

How Accurate is GPS? Today's GPS receivers are extremely accurate, thanks to their parallel multi-channel design. Garmin's 12 parallel channel receivers are quick to lock onto satellites when first turned on and they maintain strong locks, even in dense foliage or urban settings with tall buildings. Certain atmospheric factors and other sources of error can affect the accuracy of GPS receivers. Garmin® GPS receivers are accurate to within 15 meters on average.

Newer Garmin GPS receivers with WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) capability can improve accuracy to less than three meters on average. No additional equipment or fees are required to take advantage of WAAS. Users can also get better accuracy with Differential GPS (DGPS), which corrects GPS signals to within an average of three to five meters. The U.S. Coast Guard operates the most common DGPS correction service. This system consists of a network of towers that receive GPS signals and transmit a corrected signal by beacon transmitters. In order to get the corrected signal, users must have a differential beacon receiver and beacon antenna in addition to their GPS.

GPS Satellite System. The 24 satellites that make up the GPS space segment are orbiting the earth about 12,000 miles above us. They are constantly moving, making two complete orbits in less than 24 hours. These satellites are travelling at speeds of roughly 7,000 miles an hour. GPS satellites are powered by solar energy. They have backup batteries onboard to keep them running in the event of a solar eclipse, when there's no solar power. Small rocket boosters on each satellite keep them flying in the correct path.

What's the Signal? GPS satellites transmit two low power radio signals, designated L1 and L2. Civilian GPS uses the L1 frequency of 1575.42 MHz in the UHF band. The signals travel by line of sight, meaning they will pass through clouds, glass and plastic but will not go through most solid objects such as buildings and mountains. A GPS signal contains three different bits of information - a pseudorandom code, ephemeris data and almanac data. The pseudorandom code is simply an I.D. code that identifies which satellite is transmitting information. You can view this number on your Garmin GPS unit's satellite page, as it identifies which satellites it's receiving. Ephemeris data, which is constantly transmitted by each satellite, contains important information about the status of the satellite (healthy or unhealthy), current date and time. This part of the signal is essential for determining a position. The almanac data tells the GPS receiver where each GPS satellite should be at any time throughout the day. Each satellite transmits almanac data showing the orbital information for that satellite and for every other satellite in the system.

Sources of GPS Signal Errors.

Factors that can degrade the GPS signal and thus affect accuracy include the following:

• Ionosphere and troposphere delays - The satellite signal slows as it passes through the atmosphere. The GPS system uses a built-in model that calculates an average amount of delay to partially correct for this type of error.
• Signal multipath - This occurs when the GPS signal is reflected off objects such as tall buildings or large rock surfaces before it reaches the receiver. This increases the travel time of the signal, thereby causing errors.
• Receiver clock errors - A receiver's built-in clock is not as accurate as the atomic clocks onboard the GPS satellites. Therefore, it may have very slight timing errors.
• Orbital errors - Also known as ephemeris errors, these are inaccuracies of the satellite's reported location.
• Number of satellites visible - The more satellites a GPS receiver can "see," the better the accuracy. Buildings, terrain, electronic interference, or sometimes even dense foliage can block signal reception, causing position errors or possibly no position reading at all. GPS units typically will not work indoors, underwater or underground.
• Satellite geometry/shading - This refers to the relative position of the satellites at any given time. Ideal satellite geometry exists when the satellites are located at wide angles relative to each other. Poor geometry results when the satellites are located in a line or in a tight grouping.
• Intentional degradation of the satellite signal - Selective Availability (SA) is an intentional degradation of the signal once imposed by the U.S. Department of Defense. SA was intended to prevent military adversaries from using the highly accurate GPS signals. The government turned off SA in May 2000, which significantly improved the accuracy of civilian GPS receivers.

APPLICATIONS - GPS has a variety of applications on land, at sea and in the air. Basically, GPS is usable everywhere except where it's impossible to receive the signal such as inside most buildings, in caves and other subterranean locations, and underwater. The most common airborne applications are for navigation by general aviation and commercial aircraft. At sea, GPS is also typically used for navigation by recreational boaters, commercial fishermen, and professional mariners. Land-based applications are more diverse. The scientific community uses GPS for its precision timing capability and position information.

 

Surveyors use GPS for an increasing portion of their work. GPS offers cost savings by drastically reducing setup time at the survey site and providing incredible accuracy. Basic survey units, costing thousands of dollars, can offer accuracies down to one meter. More expensive systems are available that can provide accuracies to within a centimeter.

 

Recreational uses of GPS are almost as varied as the number of recreational sports available. GPS is popular among hikers, hunters, snowmobilers, mountain bikers, and cross-country skiers, just to name a few. Anyone who needs to keep track of where he or she is, to find his or her way to a specified location, or know what direction and how fast he or she is going can utilize the benefits of the global positioning system.

GPS is now commonplace in automobiles as well. Some basic systems are in place and provide emergency roadside assistance at the push of a button (by transmitting your current position to a dispatch center). More sophisticated systems that show your position on a street map are also available. Currently these systems allow a driver to keep track of where he or she is and suggest the best route to follow to reach a designated location.
