Patent Images
1. A vehicle comprising:
- a satellite positioning receiver configured to determine a location of the receiver;
a memory storage adapted to store vehicle specific parameters; and
a controller adapted to receive position information from the satellite positioning receiver and vehicle specific parameters from the memory and generate vehicle guidance signals based at least in part on the position information and the vehicle specific parameters.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for on-board memories for use in vehicle auto-guidance. An on-board memory of a vehicle is capable of storing information used in auto-guidance specific to that particular vehicle and/or a class of vehicles and passing the information through a vehicle communication network. The information is then transferred to a removable master controller and/or removable satellite positioning receiver to aid in auto-guidance of the vehicle. In this way, the master controller and/or the GPS unit may be removed and/or re-installed on a vehicle without having to store the vehicle specific information.
