System Overview
Your navigation system is a highly
sophisticated location system with
voice control that uses satellites and a
map database to show you where you
are and to help guide you to a desired
destination.
The navigation system receives signals
from the global positioning system
(GPS), a network of 24 satellites in
orbit around the earth. By receiving
signals from several of these satellites,
the navigation system can determine the
latitude, longitude, and elevation of your
vehicle. In addition, a gyroscopic yaw
sensor and a vehicle speed sensor in
your vehicle keep track of the direction
and speed of travel at all times.
