Method and apparatus for determination of position

Procedure for determining the position of a moving object comprising the steps of: determining the position (Px) of the object; determine the actual distance (Dx) of the object from a previous position (Px-1) that has been stored as a waypoint (Wx-1); determining a current deviation (Ax) between a current direction of travel and direction of anterior displacement, the direction of anterior displacement is evaluated on the basis, at least two points above route; comparing the current distance (Dx) and deviation current (Ax) with at least a set of parameters (X, Y, Z) that define criteria for storing a position as a new waypoint; determine the current speed of the object; determine and store the current position (Px) as a new waypoint (Wx) if the criteria are met; and repeating the above steps and storing a predetermined number of last waypoints (Wx, Wx-1, Wx-2, ...) to indicate position and / or direction of movement of the object, characterized in that it is defined that the criteria They filled out if: (1) the current distance (Dx) exceeds the first parameter (X); or (2a) the current distance (Dx) exceeds the second parameter (Y), so that Y <X, and (2b) the deviation (Ax) between the current direction of travel and the direction established by the connection the last two waypoints (Wx-1, Wx-2) is higher than the third parameter (Z) and (2c) the current speed of the object is greater than a predetermined minimum speed (S).
