Abstract: This paper describes location and navigation systems and their components. Positioning subsystem and its implementation are given in more details considering the performance. Different performance parameters are defined in order to characterise requirements and usability of the positioning subsystem for different location and navigation applications. At Brunel University, an Inverse DGPS was established as a part of the Navigation System for Blind [1]. Its performance was compared to the GPS system performance, taking into account different navigation and location applications for pedestrians.
