Now, GPS (Global Positioning System) is available in U.S. autos. As of last summer, Oldsmobile buyers could opt for GPS receivers, with accompanying digitized road maps, built right into their dashboards. A motorist lost in the San Fernando Valley can tap into GPS and get an instant position on the digitized map, accurate to the length of a minivan.

Une voiture qui parle c'est déjà peu banal, mais une voiture qui vous dit où aller, c'est beaucoup plus surprenant encore. C'est pourtant ce que proposent les nouveaux systèmes de navigation automobile. Les informations de position reçues depuis le satellite, sont utilisées avec des cartes routières numérisées et enregistrées sur CD-ROM.

Car navigation systems are not a novelty, rather there are more and more cars equipped with GPS (Global Positioning System) navigators. The new Travelpilot RNS 149 is the first Blaupunkt car radio with built-in navigation system. All components have been miniaturised in a device incorporating AM/FM RDS radio, CD audio player and navigator with a large graphic display. The Travelpilot can adjust automatically and the tachometer signal provides it with the distance covered; this measurement is constantly compared with the road network stored on the navigation CD, keeping constantly in touch with the GPS satellite network.
