  • Patent number: 10641612
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for correcting position error in a navigation system by utilizing user input received via a human-machine interface, where the user input indicates the location of a user as perceived by the user. The navigation system includes a positioning module, navigation sensors, a map database and a human-machine interface that are employed to calculate and display the current position to the user. The method and apparatus are advantageously used in situations with intermittent or unavailable GPS signal, cumulative navigational sensor errors, and cases where map database information is incorrect. The positioning module receives and processes user input from the human-machine interface and analyzes the user input against the result of a map-matching algorithm to correct positioning errors.
