Abstract
A navigation system includes a digital-map, a global-positioning-system receiver, and one or more controller-circuits. The digital-map includes a record of global-positioning-system dead-zones. The global-positioning-system receiver indicates a position of a host-vehicle on the digital-map. The one or more controller-circuits are in communication with the global-positioning-system receiver and the digital-map. The one or more controller-circuits are configured to steer the host-vehicle. The one or more controller-circuits determine the position of the host-vehicle relative to the global-positioning-system dead-zone and determining whether a travel-path for the host-vehicle includes a lane-change to a desired-lane. In accordance with the determination by the one or more controller-circuits that the travel-path includes a lane-change and that the host-vehicle is outside of the global-positioning-system dead-zone, the one or more controller-circuits steer the host-vehicle to the desired-lane.
