What is navigation?<br />
The term "navigation" (lat. navigare = to<br />
travel by sea) is generally understood to<br />
mean the location of a vehicle, the<br />
determination of the direction and<br />
distance from the desired destination<br />
and the required route. Stars, prominent<br />
landmarks, <strong>com</strong>pass and satellites etc.<br />
are used as navigation aids.<br />
With the Traffic Assist Pro, the location<br />
is determined by the GPS receiver. The<br />
Navigational Satellite Timing and<br />
Ranging - Global Positioning System<br />
(NAVSTAR-GPS, usually referred to<br />
as GPS) was developed in the 70s by the<br />
American military for navigation and<br />
location purposes.<br />
GPS operates using signals from<br />
satellites orbiting the globe on a fixed<br />
trajectory. At any one time, there are a<br />
minimum of 24 satellites guaranteeing<br />
constant reception from any point in the<br />
world. The GPS receiver receives these<br />
signals, uses the signal times to calculate<br />
the distance from the individual<br />
satellites and then determines your<br />
current geographical position.<br />
Signals from at least three satellites are<br />
required to determine your position;<br />
32<br />
your height above sea level can be<br />
calculated if signals are received from<br />
five or more satellites.<br />
The Traffic Assist Pro determines the<br />
direction and distance from the<br />
destination using a navigation <strong>com</strong>puter<br />
and a digital street map on the SD<br />
memory card.<br />
For safety, directions to the designation<br />
are mainly provided verbally. The direction<br />
display and map diagram on the<br />
touch screen are further aids.<br />
!Safety information<br />
• The road traffic act takes precedence<br />
in all circumstances. The navigational<br />
system is only an aid.<br />
The data/details provided may in<br />
some cases be incorrect. The driver<br />
must always decide whether to follow<br />
the details given or not.<br />
We accept no liability for the navigational<br />
system issuing incorrect<br />
details.<br />
• When first started up, it may take<br />
up to 30 minutes before a position<br />
can be determined.<br />
• Precedence should always be given<br />
to actual traffic signs and local traffic<br />
rules.<br />
• The directions only relate to cars.<br />
Special re<strong>com</strong>mendations and rules<br />
for other vehicles (e.g. <strong>com</strong>mercial<br />
vehicles) are not taken into consideration.<br />
• Destinations may only be input<br />
when the vehicle is stationary.
