1. A method of vehicle navigation guidance, the method comprising:
- receiving via a GPS receiver satellite positioning signals including at least three satellite positioning data;
receiving road marking data from a driver assistance device;
calculating a first position of a vehicle according to the at least three satellite positioning data and according to the road marking data;
determining a turning action of the vehicle according to the road marking data without a gyroscope;
determining a presence of two parallel roads and gravitational level information of the vehicle according to the road marking data without an accelerometer using data from at least one of an image sensor and a radar sensor; and
calculating a second position of the vehicle on one of the two parallel roads according to the first position, according to the turning action, and according to the gravitational level information,providing vehicle navigation guidance based at least in part on the determined second position.
