What is navigation?
Navigation (Latin navigare = to travel by
sea) is generally understood to mean find-
ing the position of a vehicle, determining
the direction of and distance from the de-
sired destination, and establishing and fol-
lowing a route to this destination. Naviga-
tional aids include the stars, distinct
objects, a compass, and satellites.
The Traffic Assist Highspeed uses its GPS
receiver to find the vehicle's position.
(The Global Positioning System (GPS)
was developed by the US military in the
1970s as a missile guidance system.
GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites cir-
cling the earth which continuously emit
signals. The GPS receiver receives these
signals and uses the delay of each of the
signals to calculate its distance from the
individual satellites. In turn, it can use this
information to determine its current geo-
graphical position.

The signals of at least three satellites are
needed to establish a position. If four or
more signals are available, the height
above sea level can also be calculated).
Traffic Assist Highspeed determines the
direction of and distance to the destina-
tion with the aid of a digital road atlas on
the SD card and the navigation computer.
For safety, directions to the designation
are mainly provided verbally. The direc-
tion display and map diagram on the
touchscreen are further aids. Listen to the
verbal instructions as much as possible,
glancing at the display only when needed
and safe to do so.
