A method for processing GPS route data of a vehicle is proposed, in which the GPS route data are used for the route guidance of the vehicle along a route (), wherein vehicle positions and an offroad position information or an onroad position information are generated as route data, wherein a vehicle position calculation function for route guidance of the vehicle is used, if erroneous vehicle positions are generated from the GPS route data. Furthermore, a control device for carrying out a method is proposed.

Method for processing GPS route data of a vehicle

Disclosed is a method for determining a position of a motor vehicle by means of a location device of the motor vehicle. First, a first position (x) related to an installation point of the location device in the motor vehicle is determined. In order to determine a position suitable for controlling the motor vehicle, with reference to the said first position (x) a second position (x) related to a center of gravity of the vehicle is determined, in that the first position (x) is offset by a distance (a) between the said installation point of the location device and the center of gravity of the vehicle.
