Continuous location finding is the calculation of the current position of the vehicle. It is active when the ignition is switched on and is accomplished by
the navigation processor (A40/3n2). During the switch-on phase (software loading phase) only the basic location finding feature is available. After
switching off the ignition all important locating parameters are stored for a certain time (approx. 30 min.).
Three different methods are used for continuous location finding, which can be matched with one another and therefore ensure extremely precise and
reliable location finding:
