GPS
What is the navigation system and
the GPS?
The satellite navigation system guides
the driver to the destination that he has
set in accordance with a chosen route.
Initially, it searches for the destination
required by the user, then it calculates
t h e r o u t e a n d fi n a l l y i t p r o v i d e s t h e v i -
sual and audible guidance instructions. What precautions should be
observed in order to use the system
under good conditions?
Do not place anything on or near the
GPS aerial.
Do not use any digital communication
equipment (personal computers, etc.)
near the GPS aerial.

containing carbon to the window.
The system’s measurements may be
inaccurate if the vehicle is:
- in a tunnel or underground car
park,
- underneath a two-level motorway,
- in an area with several very high buildings,
- surrounded by closely planted trees.
Depending on the vehicle’s situation
and the reception of the GPS informa-
tion, the displayed information may dis-
appear from the display temporarily.
The GPS (Global Position-
ing System) consists of
several satellites distributed
around the earth. They con-
tinuously transmit digital sig-
nals which travel at the speed of light,
on 2 different frequencies.
At any given time, the system receives
its position in relation to the satellites
detected and the time of transmission
of the signal.
This enables the telematic unit to de-
duce its position and therefore that of
the vehicle.
A repositioning process using the map
database stored on the hard disc per-
mits repositioning of the vehicle’s po-
sition on the road network in order to
improve the accuracy of the locating
function. What is a point of interest (POI)?
A point of interest (POI) is
represented by an icon on
the map, it represents an
airport, a station, a town
hall, …
Up to 40 different icons may
be displayed (refer to the
section "Points of interest
icon").

MP3 is the abbreviation of MPEG-1 Au-
dio Layer 3 and MPG is the abbrevia-
tion of Motion Pictures Experts Group, a
digital video data compression standard
used on media such as video CDs.
The MP3 compression reduces the
number of bytes in a song by eliminating
the long sound waves in the range of fre-
quencies which are imperceptible to the
human ear, so producing high quality au-
d i o fi l e s w i t h a l o w v o l u m e o f d a t a .
This compression divides the size of
the content of a conventional audio CD
by approximately 10, which means that
the content of 10 audio CDs can be re-
corded onto a single CD-R or CD-RW.
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows
Media Audio, another audio data com-
pression standard offered by Microsoft.
It can be used to create and save audio
