2.1 Operating mode of your navigation system
MobileNavigator The time of complicated and frustrating inquiries on the right way
in folded maps is over. From now on MobileNavigator, your
navigation system, will guide you, based on satellite information,
quickly and safely to your destination.
GPS-based
navigation
Based on satellites the Global Positioning System (GPS)
determines your current geographical position. The GPS has
originally been developed as a weapon guidance system for the
American forces.
Operating mode of
the GPS
The GPS is based on 24 satellites, which are in orbit round the
earth. They are permanently emitting the time and their current
position. The GPS receiver receives this information and
calculates the longitude and the latitude of its own actual
position.
The signals of at least three satellites are needed to determine
the longitude and the latitude. With the signals of at least four
satellites the elevation may be calculated, too. The determination
has an accuracy of about 3 yards.

The indication of destinations is the basis of navigation
respectively of itinerary planning. In this chapter, you will learn
about the possibilities to indicate and manage destinations in
MobileNavigator.
For details on destination management, please refer to
“Navigation and Itinerary planning”, page 53.
Indicating a
destination
In MobileNavigator there are several possibilities to enter or to
select destinations:
Via a manual address entry, see page 30.
Via the Special destinations function, see page 32.
By indication on the map, see page 36.
By selection from the Saved destinations list, see page 38.
By selection from the Recent destinations list, see page 39.
Via the Home icon, see page 42.

"bab" or "bab".
You may then select the correct entry or enter more letters to
shorten the results list.
Entries All entries may be done with the finger on the software keyboard.
You need not enter special characters when entering a
destination's city or street name. MobileNavigator replaces
these characters automatically. When you are looking for, e.g., a

6 Glossary
COM-port A COM port is a connector to a communications interface, usually
the serial port. The ports are numbered by a number behind
“COM”. A communications interface is designed to connect
hardware like a mouse or a GPS receiver.
GMT GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is the mean solar time at the Royal
Greenwich Observatory in Greenwich near London, England,
which by convention is at 0 degrees geographic longitude.
Theoretically, noon Greenwich Mean Time is the moment when
the Sun crosses the Greenwich meridian (and reaches its highest
point in the sky in Greenwich). Up to 1972, GMT was the global
time standard. Because of the Earth's uneven speed in its elliptic
orbit, GMT has been replaced by UTC (Universal Time
Coordinated) which is an ultra stable time standard based on
atomic clocks.
GPS The GPS (Global Positioning System) is based on 24 satellites,
which are in orbit round the earth. They are permanently
emitting the time and their current position. The GPS receiver
receives this information and calculates the longitude and the
latitude of its own current position.
The signals of at least three satellites are needed to determine
the longitude and the latitude. With the signals of at least four
satellites the elevation may be calculated, too. The determination
has an accuracy of about 3 yards.
HDOP The Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP) indicates the quality
of position determination. Theoretically any value from 0 to 50 is
possible. The smaller the value is, the more accurate is the
position determination (value 0 = no deviation from the actual
position). Values up to 8 are convenient for street navigation.
POI Point of Interest (POI). See Special destination.
Special destination Special destinations, also called POI (Points of Interest), are
covered by the map and may be displayed on it. Harbours,
airports, restaurants, hotels, petrol stations, public buildings, and
others belong to the special destinations. You may determine
special destinations as itinerary points for navigation purposes.
