What is Navigation?

Navigation Operation
The term "navigation" (lat. navigare = to travel by sea) is gen-
erally understood to mean the location of a vehicle, the deter-
mination of the direction and distance from the desired
destination and the required route. As navigation aids, stars,
prominent landmarks, compass and satellites are used.
With OnlinePro, location is determined by the GPS receiver
(GPS = Global Positioning System). The direction and dis-
tance from the destination is determined using a digital street
map, a navigation computer and sensors. A speedometer and
reverse signal are additionally used to calculate the route.
For safety reasons, route guidance follows predominantly in
spoken form supported by a direction indicator on the display.
