2.4 Navigation with GPS
GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites that circle the
earth and, in doing so, are constantly transmitting
their position and the current time. The GPS receiver
receives this data and calculates its own geographi-
cal position on the basis of the information
broadcast by the various satellites.
In order to determine position precisely, it is necessary
to obtain the data from at least three satellites. With
the data from 4 or more satellites, the altitude above
sea level can also be ascertained. Position is accurate
within 3 metres.
Once P´ 9611 has determined your position, this
position can be used as a starting point for a route
calculation.
The map data on your navigation device includes the
geographical coordinates of all digitally recorded
points of interest, streets and places. Using this
data, the system is able to calculate a route from any
given starting point to a destination.
The calculation of the current position and its
representation on the map takes place once every
second, so your current position is always shown on
the map.
2.5 Important safety information
In your own interest, read the following notices and
safety information carefully before starting up your
navigation system.
