Abstract
In the future most cars will be equipped with a vehicle navigation system to help you determine your position and to guide you to your destination. Such a system stores a roadmap of, say, the whole of the U.S. It also keeps track of where you are, so that it can show the appropriate part of the roadmap at any time on a little computer screen; this will usually be a rectangular region around your present position. Sometimes the system will do even more for you. For example, it might warn you when a turn is coming up that you should take to get to your destination.
