Abstract: Method, apparatus, and programs for synchronizing navigation data. First synchronization information is obtained from a receiver. The first synchronization information was used for synchronizing first navigation data received by the receiver from a navigation device. A sending time of second navigation data sent from the navigation device is then determined based on the first synchronization information. Second synchronization information is computed based on the sending time of the navigation data. The second synchronization information is used for synchronizing the second navigation data.

Abstract: Method, apparatus, and programs for synchronizing navigation data. A first distance between a first navigation device and a receiver and a second distance between a second navigation device and the receiver are estimated. The receiver receives first and second navigation data from the first and second navigation devices, respectively. Based on a first sending time of the first navigation data sent from the first navigation device and the first and second distances, a second sending time of the second navigation data sent from the second navigation device is then determined. Synchronization information of the second navigation device is computed based on the second sending time of the second navigation data. The synchronization information is used for synchronizing the second navigation data received at the receiver.

The receiver receives navigation data from the navigation device. A sending time of the navigation data sent from the navigation device is then determined based on the estimated distance between the navigation device and receiver. Synchronization information is computed based on the sending time of the navigation data. The synchronization information is used for synchronizing the navigation data.

Abstract: Method, apparatus, and programs for synchronizing navigation data. Data synchronization is established between a receiver and a navigation device based on matching of a header of navigation data. The receiver receives the navigation data from the navigation device. If, subsequently, the data synchronization is interrupted, information related to the data synchronization from the receiver is retrieved. The data synchronization is then re-established between the receiver and the navigation device based on the retrieved information.
