X Series E70 X5 3.0Sd (M57T2) OFFRD
The "Professional" navigation system has been integrated in the Car Communication Computer (CCC).
There is no longer a separate navigation system. The "Professional" navigation system has the following
new features:
-
Map information on DVD
-
Complete display of Europe and US
-
Several scales 1000 km, 500 km, ...
-
Dynamic route planning
The navigation data can be displayed on the Central Information Display (CID) on the left-hand section of
the screen, or on the right in the assist window. The left-hand area of the screen has a resolution of
400x240 pixels. The secondary screen has a resolution of 240x240 pixels. Navigation data can be
displayed in the following form:
-
Map north-oriented
-
Map orientated to direction of travel
-
Arrow display
-
Location
In addition to the navigation data, the following information can be displayed on the secondary screen:
-
On-board trip computer
-
On-board computer
The following components are integrated in the CCC for the "Professional" navigation system:
-
DVD drive for reading map information
-
HIP module for receiving satellite signals
-
Yaw-rate sensor for precise location identification
The navigation system software is fitted in the CCC. The navigation system uses the memories and
processors in the CCC. The navigation system uses the Traffic Message Channel (TMC) to detect tailbacks
and traffic congestion.
If a tailback or traffic congestion is detected, an alternative route around the hindrance is computed. The
system has its own diagnosis address.
GPS satellites
GPS satellites move around the earth in 6 nearly circular orbits. There are 4 GPS satellites per orbit,
therefore there is a maximum number of 24 GPS satellites. Before the navigation system can process the
reference signal from the GPS satellites (minimum 4 GPS satellites), the Almanac data must first be
loaded.
Loading almanac data
Almanac data delivers the following data and information to the navigation system:
-
UTC (Universal Time Coordinate)
-
Date
-
Location of the GPS satellites
-
Orbits
-
Operational capacity of the GPS satellites
