A novel approach to automatic navigation and map display is described. In order for a navigation and display system to be both cost effective and useful in automobiles, solutions are needed to problems in navigation, map database, data storage, and display. A self-contained navigation technique is used, utilizing a compass and wheel sensors, a digital map database, and an adaptive self-calibrating navigation algorithm. A prioritized map database structure and a rugged digital tape deck solve problems of map data storage and distribution. Finally, a vector graphics CRT enables a flexible, high-resolution, low-cost display to be implemented. A functional description of the Etak Navigator is presented along with a description of its basic hardware and software components. Alternate approaches and future applications are summarized.
