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.

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
