GPS info

The GPS Info menu contains information about
your current position and your current speed. In
addition, you can view the strength of the GPS
signals.

GPS mode of operation

GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites that are
orbiting the earth and sending out signals. The
Lucca receives these signals and calculates its
distance to the individual satellites from the delay
times. It uses this information to derive its cur-
rent geographic position and compares it with the
map material. The supplied map material contains
the geographic coordinates of points of interest,
streets and cities that you can view on the dis-
play of the Lucca. Hence, the Lucca calculates the
route to the destination you entered by using the
information from the GPS satellites and the map
material.
The positioning requires signals from at least 3
satellites. Starting with the fourth one, it is possi-
ble to also determine height above mean sea level.
The positioning is carried out with an accuracy to
3 metres. Since the positioning and position dis-
play is carried out once every second, you can
view your movement on the map – even without
active route guidance.

for the navigation, you may attempt to install
the Lucca at a different location in the vehicle.
For this purpose, please read chapter "Route
