SatGuide - Navigation System in India uses GPS (Global Positioning System) with
smart sensors to achieve the accuracy needed for turn-by-turn directions.
GPS is a network of 24 U.S. military satellites that emit radio signals, which have
digitally encoded information. Integrated GPS receivers receive these radio signals
from the satellites. The software then processes these signals to arrive at the
accurate position. The device should receive signals from a minimum of 3 satellites
to give an accurate positioning. Nevertheless, at on any given time the receiver
is capable of receiving signals from 12 satellites at a time.
In addition, the navigation software extracts other useful information from the GPS signals for example: your
current speed, your current height above mean sea level, what direction you are
headed in and the like. In short, the navigation system captures all information
that ensures that you reach your destination.
GPS works on the concept of triangulation.
The GPS satellites transmit radio signals and its region of influence covers the
entire globe. The GPS receiver in SatGuide calculates your position dynamically
and plots your position on a map. And an accurate location of your vehicle is then
calculated.
Now you let go of your worries. With SatGuide you will always be in
control. And best of all, this comes for free. There are no recurring charges that
you will have to incur for using the satellite.
Three of the 24 GPS satellites orbiting the earth report the current position to your navigation system. At the same time,
state-of-the art sensors record every movement, registering even the slightest change
of direction. Most roads in the city are stored in the navigation device, a Pocket
PC. This means the computer always knows your exact position, and so do you.
Before leaving for your destination, all you have to do is enter your destination address
in the control unit. The computer suggests the best route based on the name of the
street you are traveling to. And it displays a map in the screen of your navigation
device. All you need to do is follow the instructions it gives you. The In-vehicle
or Car Navigation System promises to be a valuable aid for travelers, sales people,
delivery personnel, real estate agents, drivers of emergency vehicles.... anyone
and everyone who needs to reach a variety of destinations as quickly and efficiently
as possible.
