LexKid630 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 How does the navigation system in a Lexus work? Are there satelites following us 24/7? If so, how many satelites per car do you think? Just wondering... :whistles: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 There are 20 or 24 satellites around the world. You can only see 8-12 at any point in time. The more sats it can See the closer it can triangulate your exact position. It basically uses the sats position in the sky to make a grid and place you on the screen. The Lexus system also uses the speed sensor of the car to know what you are doing in speed and distance for times when you are in black spots .This happens when you go through tunnels or around high buildings which will block the sats signals. Make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
