What is navigation?
The term ”navigation” (lat. navigare = to travel by
sea) is generally understood to mean the determi-
nation of a vehicle’s location, the determination of
its direction and its distance from the desired des-
tination and the required route. As navigation aids,
stars, prominent landmarks, compass and satellites
are used.
With OnlinePro, location is determined with the
GPS receiver (GPS = Global Positioning System).
The direction and distance from the destination are
determined using a digital street map, a navigation
computer and sensors. A speedometer and reverse
signal are additionally used to calculate the route.
For safety reasons, route guidance is predominant-
ly in spoken form supported by a direction indica-
tor on the display.
Navigation CDs
Two navigation CDs are supplied with the
navigation unit.
These CDs contain a digitised street map. One CD
for Northern Europe (CD no. 1) and one CD for
Southern Europe (CD no. 2) are supplied.
The complete trunk road network and all
destination centres in the digitised area of Northern
and Southern Europe are available on the CDs.
All digitised roads of the northern countries are
also included on the Northern Europe CD. All
digitised roads of the southern countries are also
included on the Southern Europe CD.
In these detailed areas of the Northern or Southern
Europe CD road map, motorways, regional roads
and unclassified roads as well as country roads are
stored. Larger cities and communities are
comprehensively covered. For smaller towns and
communities, the regional and unclassified roads
or access roads and the town centres are included.
One-way streets, pedestrian zones, turning bans
and other traffic regulations are taken into account
as far as possible.
There may be discrepancies between the data on
the navigation CD and the actual local situation,
due to permanent changes to road systems and
their traffic regulations.
