NAVTEQ gives an insight into how map building has evolved from an ancient craft. page 5 © Messe München GmbH ❯ Indoor navigation GNSS are traditionally suitable for outdoor use. To provide reliable, accurate navigation within buildings, such systems must be combined with external complements. page 6 No. 3/2008 October 21 st , 2008 www.navworld24.com ❯ Location-based entertainment By integrating GPS, the gaming world is set to enter unprecedented dimensions that blur the line between the real and virtual. page 9 Navigation World – the name says it all For the first time, Anwendungs - zentrum GmbH Oberpfaffenhofen is organising an exclusive conference forum on the topic of navigation with the support of the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Infrastructure, Transport, and Technology. Tailored specifically to the needs of small and midsize companies, the forum will be held as part of the ICT trade show SYSTEMS. In the Navigation World Area of Hall B1, major industry fixtures will discuss the hot topics of indoor navigation, EGNOS, GPS gaming, digital maps and LBS, mobile navigation, and automotive solutions on October 21 st –22 nd in Munich, Germany. A two-hour session will be devoted to each of these focus areas, including five technical presentations and a subsequent podium discussion. In this Which positioning and localisation technologies make seamless navigation possible indoors? What application potential does EGNOS offer as Europe’s augmentation system for GPS? What new dimensions will the gaming world enter thanks to the positioning and precise time signals provided by satellite navigation? What added value does location-based information offer? What opportunities are presented by the rapid rise of GPS-enabled mobile devices, and what improvement and cost-saving potential lies in the automotive sector beyond traditional navigation? special edition of ESNC news, we’d like to give you a small taste of what awaits you within each of the six aforementioned subjects.

Page four outlines the advantages and potential of the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Ser - vice (EGNOS) based on the example of an aviation-based and a maritime application. Page five is devoted to the digitalisation of maps and the demand for location-based information. Increasing along with mobility and location-awareness is the need Special issue: Navigation World 2008 Hall B1 / Stand 325 for technologies that facilitate localisation in enclosed spaces. Technology perspectives and application scenarios in the field of indoor navigation are among the topics of focus on pages six to eight. On page nine, we introduce you to four concepts that use the exact positioning and precise time signals of satellite navigation to blur the line between virtual and reality in the world of gaming. Page 10 gives an overview of the entire conference agenda. The Navigation World Conference Forum represents a dedicated continuation of the special focus SYSTEMS has given to the topic of navigation since 2004. For the fifth time, Europe’s leading satellite navigation network will be meeting from October 21 st –24 th in Munich. The Navigation World Area, directly adjacent to the Conference Forum, promises to be the ideal B2B meeting point for decision-makers in IT, telecommunications, GIS, and satellite navigation. As a “trade show within a trade show”, Navigation World seeks to offer software solution providers, integrators, device and component manufacturers, and service providers an ideal areaspecific platform for presenting their products and expertise. The winners of the fifth European Satellite Navigation Competition will also be in attendance to introduce their innovative applications and ideas. We look forward to seeing you at Navi gation World Conference and Area at SYSTEMS 2008!
