In-car navigation system

The first In Car Navigation System was developed by Rockwell (driver information systems) in 1995-6 at their Troy Michigan Facility and was completed by 54 Experts hand picked for their particular skills and had a working prototype within 6 months called the Pathmaster system at a cost of $3,500 to the public with one database and to present it to the public was installed in 7500 Hertz rent a cars in 17 major cities and called the NeverLost at a cost to renters around $7.00 per day. They had to bust tail to get them installed in time for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Install was completed on time by Radio Repair Center. The install was complex as the vehicle speed sensor and reverse lights had to be accessed The GPS signal at the time was restricted so we had to add map matching and dead reconing as part of the triangle. Mapping software was provided by Simmons ? and was very limited. The entire project was sold to Magellan soon after completion.
