Dead reckoning using distance data from sensors 
connected to the drivetrain, a gyroscope as well 
as an accelerometer can be used as greater 
reliability, as GPS navigation signal loss and/or 
multipath can happen because of urban canyons 
or tunnels.
 
In past statistics, automotive navigation is 
dependant on the shortest path problem, within 
graph theory, which examines how you can find 
out the path that best meets some criteria 
(shortest, least expensive, fastest, etc.) between 
two points inside a large network.


History
 
Automotive satnav systems represent a 
convergence of numerous diverse technologies a 
few of which happen to be available for several 
years, but were too pricey or inaccessible. 
Limitations for example batteries, display, and 
processing power needed to be overcome prior to 
the product grew to become commercially viable


Navigation Data Standard (NDS)
 
The Navigation Data Standard (NDS) initiative, is 
definitely an industry grouping of vehicle 
manufacturers, navigation system suppliers and 
map data suppliers whose objective may be the 
standardization from the data format utilized in 
vehicle satnav systems, in addition to allow a 
roadmap update capacity. The NDS effort started 
in 2004 and grew to become an authorized 
association in '09.Standardization would improve 
interoperability, particularly by permitting exactly 
the same navigation maps for use in satnav 
systems from 20 manufacturers.


Technology
 
The street database is really a vector map. 
Street names or figures and house figures, in 
addition to sights (waypoints), are encoded as 
geographic coordinates. This permits users to 
locate a preferred destination by home address 
or as geographic coordinates. 


Media
 
The street database might be kept in solid 
condition read-only memory (ROM), optical media 
(CD or DVD), solid condition flash memory, 
magnetic media (hard disk drive), or perhaps a 
combination. A typical plan is to possess a base 
map permanently kept in ROM that may be 
augmented with more information for any region 
the consumer has an interest in. A ROM is 
definitely programmed in the factory another 
media might be preprogrammed, downloaded 
from the CD or DVD using a computer or wireless 
connection (bluetooth, Wi-Fi), or directly used 
employing a card readers.


Real-time data
 
Primary article: Integration of traffic data with 
satnav systems
 
Some systems will get and display info on traffic 
jam using either TMC, RDS, or by GPRS/3G data 
transmission via cell phones.


Integration along with other functions
 
The colour LCD screens on some automotive 
satnav systems may also be used to show 
television broadcasts or DVD movies.
 
A couple of systems integrate (or communicate) 
with cell phones for hands-free speaking and SMS 
messaging (i.e., using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi).
 
Automotive satnav systems may include private 
information management for conferences, which 
may be coupled with a traffic and trains and 
buses information system.


Original factory equipment
 
Many vehicle manufacturers provide a Gps 
navigation navigation device being an option 
within their vehicles. Customers whose vehicles 
didn't ship with Gps navigation can therefore 
purchase and retrofit the initial factory-provided 
Gps navigation unit. In some instances this is 
often a straightforward "plug-and-play" 
installation when the needed wiring harness has 
already been contained in the automobile. 
However, with a few manufacturers, new wiring is 
needed, making cellular phone more complicated.


SMS
 
Creating sights in tangible-some time and 
transmitting them via GSM mobile systems while 
using Short Message Service (SMS) is called 
Gps2sms. Some vehicles and vessels are outfitted 
with hardware that has the capacity to instantly 
send an SMS text whenever a particular event 
happens, for example thievery, anchor drift or 
breakdown. The receiving party (e.g., a tow truck) 
can keep waypoint inside a computer, draw a 
roadmap indicating the place, or view it within an 
automotive navigation system.
