- Description
The third programme in a series of four about satellite navigation. This programme looks at satellite navigation in the car and how it is being developed in places such as Wetzlar in Germany. It investigates how the quality of a journey is improved by having these built in satellite navigation systems in the car, and how they can help in finding the way round a completely unknown location.
