Navigation mode What is navigation?
The term "navigation" (lat. navigare = to
travel by sea) is generally understood to
mean the location of a vehicle, the deter-
mination of the direction and distance
from the desired destination and the de-
termination of the required route. Stars,
prominent landmarks, compass and satel-
lites etc. are used as navigation aids.
With the Navigation device, the location
is determined by the GPS receiver. The
Global Positioning
S ystem (GPS) was de-
veloped during the 1970s by the US mili-
tary as a weapons guiding system.
GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites or-
biting the Earth and emitting signals. A
GPS receiver receives these signals and
uses the signal times to calculate the dis-
tance to an individual satellite, and then
determines your current geographical po-
sition.
Signals from at least three satellites are re-
quired to determine your position; your
height above sea level can be calculated if
signals are received from four or more sat-
ellites.
The Navigation device determines the di-
rection and distance from the destination
using a navigation computer and a digital
street map held in its internal memory.
For safety reasons, route guidance
is given
predominantly in spoken form. This is
supported by a direction indicator and a
map display on the touch screen.
