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.
