GPS satellite signal
The unit uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite signal for route
guidance.
Outside the range of the GPS satellite signal (e.g. in dense vegetation, in tun-
nels, parking garages, etc.), the unit navigates only with restrictions using
some on-vehicle sensors (such as speed sensor or steering angle sensor).
The unit offers the possibility to show in the split screen display the following
Position » Fig. 44 on page 61 information about the current geographical po-
sition of the vehicle and the satellite signal.
Geographical longitude
Geographical latitude
Elevation
Number of received/available satellites
To view the information on the longitude and latitude of the current vehicle
position display requires the reception of GPS signals from at least three satel-
lites.
To view the elevation information of the current vehicle position display re-
quires the reception of GPS signals from at least five satellites.
