The relevant trafficregulations must always befollowed. If a navigation instructioncontradicts traffic regulations, thetraffic regulations always apply.Functioning of the navigationapplicationThe position and movement of thevehicle are detected by the navigationapplication using sensors. Thetravelled distance is determined bythe vehicle's speedometer signal andturning movements on bends by agyro sensor. The position isdetermined by the GPS satellites(Global Positioning System).By comparing the sensor signals withthe digital maps, it is possible todetermine the position with anaccuracy of approx. 10 metres.The system will also work with poorGPS reception, however, theaccuracy of the determination of theposition will be reduced.After the entry of the destinationaddress or point of interest (nearestpetrol station, hotel, etc.) the route iscalculated from the current location tothe destination selected.
