Cars With Navigation / Satelites?

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?
