A laptop computer in a vehicle showing the current position

Master Navigator Software is a navigational program that makes it possible to use an ordinary Microsoft Windows Personal Computer (laptop) as the vehicle navigator (automotive navigation system). It uses scanned or downloaded images as the map background.

If one adds a GPS or similar sensor to one of the computer's input ports, it is able to show the current position, altitude, speed and direction on the map (bird's-eye view). It can also use any standard NMEA 0183 instrument such as vehicle radar, depth sounder, speed sensor etc. as the source of the navigation, situation and orientation information.

It can also create an artificial "fly on map" view (perspective projection) on the computer screen which corresponds to the vehicle's external orientation and position in the real world.
