Abstract: A device for determining the position of a vehicle comprises a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver (6) which supplies vehicle position data at regular intervals on the basis of data received from satellites, a device (1) for dead-reckoning on the basis of the position data from the GPS receiver (6), a compass (2) and at least one wheel sensor (3), and a correction unit (4) which corrects the dead-reckoning values supplied at regular intervals by the dead-reckoning device (1) in dependence on comparison with road position coordinates read from a mass memory (5), notably with characteristic road position coordinates, and outputs the corrected values as vehicle position coordinates.
