Page 165: Appendix
Appendix Positioning Technology The Navigation System accurately measures your current location by combining the positioning by GPS and by Dead Reckoning. Positioning by GPS The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses a network of satellites orbiting the Earth. Each of the satel- lites, which orbit at a height of 21,000 km, continually broadcasts radio signals giving time and position information.
Page 166 How do GPS and dead reckoning work together? For maximum accuracy, your Navigation System continually compares GPS data with your estimated position as calculated from the data of 3D Hybrid Sensor. However, if only the data from the 3D Hybrid Sensor is available for a long period, positioning errors are gradually compounded until the estimated position becomes unreliable.
Page 167: Handling Large Errors
Handling Large Errors Positioning errors are kept to a minimum by combining GPS, Dead Reckoning, and map matching. How- ever, in some situations, these functions may not work properly, and the error may become bigger. When the positioning by GPS is impossible •...
