Determination of the vehicle position during
off-road navigation
The vehicle position is determined with the aid of
a GPS antenna and a receiver in the navigation
module. GPS stands for Global Positioning Sys-
tem and is a satellite-assisted position tracking
system.
Further vehicle signals (e.g. speed) are evaluated
and processed in the navigation computer to cal-
culate the vehicle position.
This enables the system to automatically correct
signal changes due to wheel changes (altered tyre
diameter), temperature or air pressure variations.
