1 Security

This chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable use of
the NAVI-S. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use NAVI-
S.

1.1 General information

The Global Positioning System uses satellite navigation, an entirely new
concept in navigation. GPS has become established in many areas, for
example, in civil aviation or deep-sea shipping. It is making deep inroads in
vehicle manufacturing and before long everyone of us will use it this way or
another.
The GPS system is operated by the government of the United States of
America, which also has sole responsibility for the accuracy and
maintenance of the system. The system is constantly being improved and
may entail modifications effecting the accuracy and performance of the GPS
equipment.
