About GPS navigation

GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites that circle the earth and are constantly transmitting their position. The GPS receiver uses this data and calculates its own geographical position on the basis of the information transmitted by the various satellites.

For a sufficiently precise positioning 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. The determination has an accuracy of about 3 yards.

Once the navigation device has determined your position, it can be used as a starting point for route calculation.

The map data on your navigation device includes the geographical coordinates of all digitally recorded Points Of Interest (POIs), streets and places. This enables the device to calculate a route between a starting point and 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.

If GPS reception is impaired, navigation is interrupted. The navigation software remains active.

As soon as GPS reception is restored, the navigation system calculates any change of position which has occurred in the meantime. Navigation may simply be continued.

Entering the starting point

The starting point of a route, is the point at which you want to begin your trip. This does not need to be the current location. If you are at home planning a route for your vacation, you could, for example, enter your hotel as the starting point.

The starting point is only important if you want to see a planned route on the map, but currently have no GPS reception, or you are not currently at the planned starting point. The starting point that you enter has the flow number "0".

As soon as you begin navigation, your current location is used as the starting point for the route calculation.

Route calculation to the first route point is shown as flow number "1".

On the ROUTE PLANNING WINDOW:

  1. Tap the Specify Starting Point button.
