It is not the strongest,
Nor the most intelligent,
But the ones most responsive to change,
Survive.
So said Darwin.
With the advent of new species – Smart Phones, MIDs..
The landscape of satellite navigation industry is changing.
Once considered a powerful and promising navigation force,
The space of PND appears to be shrinking.
Probably there is a need to adapt.
And evolve.

From the early days of the development of basic navigational software built into satellite navigational receivers, it has been noted that for the sake of simplicity and a number of other reasons, this navigational software is often based on methods of limited accuracy [1]. It is surprising that even nowadays the use of navigational software is still used in a loose manner, sometimes ignoring basic principles and adopting oversimplified…
