GMT	GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is the mean solar time at the Royal
	Greenwich Observatory in Greenwich near London, England,
	which by convention is at 0 degrees geographic longitude.
	Theoretically, noon Greenwich Mean Time is the moment when
	the Sun crosses the Greenwich meridian (and reaches its highest
	point in the sky in Greenwich). Up to 1972, GMT was the global
	time standard. Because of the Earth's uneven speed in its elliptic
	orbit, GMT has been replaced by UTC (Universal Time
	Coordinated) which is an ultra stable time standard based on
	atomic clocks.
GPS	The GPS (Global Positioning System) is based on 24 satellites
	which are in orbit round the earth. They are permanently
	emitting the time and their current position. The GPS receiver
	receives this information and calculates the longitude and the
	latitude of its own current position. The signals of at least three
	satellites are needed to determine the longitude and the latitude.
	With the signals of at least four satellites the altitude may be
	calculated, too. The determination has an accuracy of about 3
	yards.
HDOP	The Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP) indicates the quality
	of position determination. Theoretically any value from 0 to 50
	may occur. The smaller the value, the more accurate is the
	position determination (value 0 = no deviation from the real
	position). Values up to 8 are convenient for navigation purposes.
POI	Point of Interest (POI). See: Special destination.
Special destination	Special destinations, also called POI (Points of Interest), are
	covered by the map and may be displayed on it. Harbours,
	airports, restaurants, hotels, petrol stations, public buildings, and
	others belong to the special destinations. You may determine
	special destinations as itinerary points for navigation purposes.
