1.4 The basic principle of navigation
AVIC-S1 The time of complicated and frustrating inquiries on the right way
in folded maps is over. From now on AVIC-S1, your navigation
system, will guide you, based on satellite information, qu ickly
and safely to your destination.
GPS-based
navigation
The Global Positioning System (GPS) has originally been
developed in the 70ies, as a weapon guidance system for the
American forces.
The GPS is based on 24 satellites, which are in orbit round the
earth and which are permanently emitting signals. The GPS
receiver receives these signals and calculates, based on the
runtime of the signals, his distance from the respective satellites.
This information serves for calculation your current geographic
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.
Navigation with GPS The delivered maps contain the geographic coordinates of the
points of interest, streets and towns they represent. Thus the
navigation system can calculate a route from a given start point
to a given destination point.
In case your navigation system receives the signals of at least
three satellites it may determine your current position and
represent it on the map. This position may then serve as start
point for navigation purposes.
As the determination and representation of your position is
carried out once a second, you may watch your movements on
the map.

Overview
The map can be shown in three different views:
Ù In the Standard map view
Ù In the Search for destination view
Ù In the View destination view
Each of these views makes available different functions that are
explained in the following.
5.3.1 Standard map view
The STANDARD map view opens when you start navigating. It also
opens when you press the MAP key.
The following properties are typical for this view:
Ù The current position is shown by a red triang le in the centre
of the lower third. When you move, the triangle doesn' t
change its position on the screen. Instead of this, the map
section follows your direction of movement.
Ù The scale of the map changes depending on your speed.

Alignment of the map
Red point shows up (north): the map is therefore aligned so that
north is always at the top. Tap on the button to align the map in
accordance with the driving direction.
The northerly view corresponds to the map alignment on printed
maps, but is impractical for navigation purposes.
Red point is not pointing upwards: the map is aligned so that the
driving direction is always at the top. Tap on the button to align
the map to the north.
Alignment to the driving direction is recommended for the
navigation because the directions right and left on the map are
then shown exactly as they are in reality.
Note: North alignment is only possible when the map is being
displayed in 2D mode. In 3D mode, north alignment does not
make sense.
Back
The Back button is only visible if the zoom level bar is shown.
Tap on this button to hide the zoom level bar and maintain the

Autozoom
The Autozoom button is only visible if the zoom level bar is
showing and the map scale has been changed.
Tap on this button so that the map scale is automatically
changed according to your speed: if you drive slowly, the map
scale becomes smaller, if you drive quickly, the map scale
becomes greater.

Overview TMC
If your navigation device is being used with optional TMC kit
(ND-TMC1), the system can access current traffic reports and
can, if necessary, dynamically change the route in order, for
example, to avoid a traffic jam.
If you are using AVIC-S1 without the TMC kit, then please read
the next chapter.
TMC operating mode The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is based on a news
system. Traffic information is recorded continually which is done
automatically by sensors on the motorways and by the police.
This information is then forwarded to th e radio stations without
delay. It is digitally coded, differentiated according to routes and
driving directions and transmitted inaudibly.
The TMC kit ND-TMC1 extracts the TMC data from the RDS
signal and provides the navigation software AVIC-S1 with them.
AVIC-S1 can show traffic problems (e.g. construction sites or
jams) graphically on the map or in the form of a list.
The transmitted traffic reports can be taken into consideration
when calculating the route. The navigation system indicates any
problems on the calculated route and can calculate an alternative
route if requested to do so.
AVIC-S1 features dynamic navigation, which is well adapted to
the current traffic situation.
