2.7 How your navigation system works

MobileNavigator The days of searching through thick folding maps are gone. Now

your navigation software

MobileNavigator|6 can guide you to

your destination quickly and reliably - without leafing through

maps.

GPS operation The American military developed the Global Positioning System

(GPS) in the 70s to be used as a guided weapons system.

GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites that circle the earth and,

in doing so, are constantly transmitting their position and their

time. The GPS receiver receives this data and calculates its own

geographical position from the various position and time

information broadcast by the various satellites.

For a sufficient precise positioning it is necessary to obtain the

data from at least three satellites. If you have the data from 4 or

more satellites the altitude above sea level can also be

ascertained. The positioning is precise up to 3 metres.

Navigating with GPS If

MobileNavigator|6 has determined your position, this

position can be used as a starting point for a route calculation.

The map material on the server of the NAVIGON AG includes the

geographical coordinates of all digitally recorded points of

interest, streets and places. From this the server can calculate a

route from a starting point to a destination.

The calculation of the current position and its representation on

the map takes place once every second. So you can see where

you are on the map.

2.8 Important safety information

Note It is in your own interest to read the following safety information

and warnings carefully before you start up your navigation

system.

User's Manual MobileNavigator|6

- 14 - Important safety information

2.8.1 Navigation safety information

Use the navigation system at your own risk.

Attention: Do not operate the navigation system whilst you are

driving – this could cause an accident!

Attention: Do not look at the display unless it is absolutely safe

to do so!

Attention: The rules of the road and traffic signs must be

obeyed prior to following the instructions of the navigation

system.

Attention: Do not follow the instructions of the navigation

system unless the circumstances and the street traffic regulations

allow you to do so! The navigation system will guide you to your

destination even if you have to go off course from your calculated

route.

Note: If you have not understood the speech instructions or are

unsure what you should do at the next crossroads, you can use

the map or arrow view to orientate quickly.

2.8.2 GPS receiver safety information

Attention: After installation, check all the safety-relevant

facilities in the vehicle.

Attention: Attach the GPS receiver in such a way that you can

still drive safely.

2.8.3 Safety information for a switch-on in the vehicle

Attention: Make sure you do not attach the cradle for the mobile

telephone or for the GPS receiver in the functioning area of the

airbag.

Attention: When installing the cradle, ensure that it does not

represent a risk in the event of an accident.
