NAVIGATION SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTATION APPARATUS, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTATION APPARATUS, NAVIGATION AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTATION APPARATUS, METHOD FOR PROVIDING NAVIGATION DATA FOR TRANSPORTATION APPARATUS, METHOD FOR PROVIDING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FOR TRANSPORTATION APPARATUS, METHOD FOR PROVIDING NAVIGATION AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTATION APPARATUS, METHOD FOR COMPENSATING FOR NAVIGATION DATA FROM GPS RECEIVER BY TRANSPORTATION APPARATUS HEADING DATA FROM INERTIA SENSOR, AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CALIBRATING INERTIAL SENSOR BY OUTPUT FROM GPS RECEIVER
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved means and a method integrating the GPS and a wireless communication system with a transportation apparatus system of a user for an operator of a transportation apparatus during operation to easily and safely make access to the GPS and the wireless communication system. SOLUTION: Data from the GPS and other navigation devices is transmitted over a digital data network for distributing data among various electronic apparatuses on the transportation apparatuses, desirably over an optical fiber network. Audio and data streams transmitted to a wireless network operating in the area of, for example, a WWAN, a WPAN, or a WLAN and received therefrom are distributed again over the optical fiber network to be used by apparatuses on the various transportation apparatuses. An antenna farm for a GPS receiver and a wireless transceiver can be connected to the data network on the transportation apparatus. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
