 In an effort to rein in Irish drivers, the Republic now uses a penalty “points” system similar to that in the U.K. and the U.S. Although visitors won’t have points added to their licenses, they may still be fined if they speed or commit driving infractions. advertisement
All distances and speed limits on road signs in the Republic of Ireland are in kilometers, while in Northern Ireland they are in miles. Take care if you’re driving around the borderlands—the border is unmarked, so you can cross over from one side to the other without knowing it. It’s easy to get confused and speed accidentally. Getting used to left-side driving, left-handed stick shift, narrow roads, and a new landscape all present a challenge, especially if you’re driving solo—it’s helpful if you can have somebody along to navigate. Some people even use tricks such as sticking a big arrow to the dashboard reminding you that the left is your default lane. A GPS navigation device can be invaluable in finding your way around, especially in the remote countryside. Nearly all rental firms offer them. advertisement
Roundabouts (what Americans call traffic circles or rotaries) are found on most major roads and take a little getting used to. Remember always to yield to traffic coming from the right as you approach a roundabout and follow the traffic to the left, signaling before you exit the circle.

Driving in Ireland: What You Need to Know Driving in Ireland
Driving in Ireland
Driving Requirements
Checklist for Driving in Ireland:
Rules of the Road
Automatic vs. Stick Shift Driving
Should You Rent a Car in Ireland?
 Bluetooth or handsfree devices are technically allowed but the Gardaí (police) warn that these devices are also distracting, and they will issue fines for any unsafe driving. Keep this in mind if you are planning to use your phone as a GPS for directions – and let a passenger be the navigator because the rule in Ireland is that the driver cannot touch a phone at all while operating a vehicle. Drinking and driving: Drinking and driving are taken very seriously in Ireland and few people will risk getting behind the wheel even after one drink. The legal limit to drive in Ireland is 0.5 milligrams of alcohol per milliliter of blood – which is lower than that 0.8 legal limit in many other countries. Toll roads: There are no toll roads in Northern Ireland, but they do exist in the Republic of Ireland and often cut down travel time significantly when compared to older, country roads. You will stop at toll booths to pay when entering toll roads in Ireland, with the important exception of the M50 around Dublin, which uses the eFlow Barrier System. You will pass through this system if you are traveling to or from Dublin Airport, but there are no physical toll booths. Your car's license plate will be photographed and you must remember to pay the toll online or at a designated kiosk before 8 p.m. the next day.

 You can either rent a GPS from the car rental company or use Google Maps on your smartphone. I talked about why I prefer the latter in this post about how to best rent a car in Ireland, which you can read here. The one downside of using Google Maps is that if you are charging your phone, the app won't speak to you. For some reason it considers the charging cable to be occupying the audio jack, even though it isn't. So a friend or family member to help navigate is essential there. Another reason navigators are helpful is for exiting on roundabouts! Which brings me to my next point..
3. Get Used to Roundabouts
Ireland uses roundabouts whenever roads meet at a crossroads. I heard this is because it's more economical and saves on the need for traffic lights / traffic direction. Whatever the reason, get used to lots of roundabouts… and I'm not referring to those large, spacious loops you see in Germany!

PageText01
Winding its way through peaceful woods, fertile valleys and picturesque villages the Barrow is fully navigable for 68km from Athy to St. Mullins. A significant canalised waterway right up to the 1950’s the Barrow’s industrial past saw commercial barges carrying consignments of barley to the Guinness Brewery in Dublin and later, supplying beet to Ireland’s first sugar factory at Carlow.

The Erne System has its share of dramatic landscapes and historical treasures; the monastic round tower at Devenish Island rising up from the Lough, the ruined remains of Tully Castle, the picture postcard image of Enniskillen’s medieval castle on the edge of its island banks and the National Trust’s Castle Coole and Crom Estate all compete for your attention.

Roads in Ireland are generally of a high standard. They range from motorways and dual carriageways to secondary roads with two-way traffic and winding country lanes. In the Republic of Ireland, motorways are prefixed with an “M” (for example, the M50 ring road around Dublin city). National roads are prefixed with an “N” (for example N18). Secondary roads may also be dual-carriageways or have two way traffic. Roads in Northern Ireland are prefixed with an "M" for motorway; an "A" and a "B" for primary and non-primary roads. Signs in the Republic of Ireland show distances in kilometers, while in Northern Ireland miles are used.

 The motorways surrounding Dublin are very hectic and getting in and out of Dublin was hands down the most nerve wracking part of driving in Ireland. We drove in the rain for about 2 hours exiting Dublin, manually turning on the windshield wipers because we couldn't figure out how to keep them on haha! We figured it out by hour 3…
2. Have a designated navigator
It's very helpful to have one person navigate while the other drives. Firstly because two pairs of eyes are better than one, but also because road signs are on the left while the driver sits on the right, so the driver can miss navigational signs. You can either rent a GPS from the car rental company or use Google Maps on your smartphone. I talked about why I prefer the latter in this post about how to best rent a car in Ireland, which you can read here. The one downside of using Google Maps is that if you are charging your phone, the app won't speak to you. For some reason it considers the charging cable to be occupying the audio jack, even though it isn't. So a friend or family member to help navigate is essential there.

 However, signs in the Gaeltacht (Irish speaking areas) use only Irish. The Irish language names are written in italic script, the English in capitals. Signs in Northern Ireland are in English only. Warning signs in the Republic have a yellow background and are diamond-shaped, those in Northern Ireland are triangle-shaped and have a white background with a red border. Speed limits in Northern Ireland are specified in miles per hour. Those in the Republic use kilometres per hour (km/h), a change introduced on 20 January 2005. This involved the provision of 58,000 new metric speed limit signs, replacing and supplementing 35,000 imperial signs. Contents

Main article: History of Roads in Ireland
There have been routes and trackways in Ireland connecting settlements and facilitating trade since ancient times. Ireland was never part of the Roman Empire and, therefore, Roman roads were not built in Ireland.

Warning signs in the Republic have a yellow background and are diamond-shaped, those in Northern Ireland are triangle-shaped and have a white background with a red border. Speed limits in Northern Ireland are specified in miles per hour. Those in the Republic use kilometres per hour (km/h), a change introduced on 20 January 2005. This involved the provision of 58,000 new metric speed limit signs, replacing and supplementing 35,000 imperial signs. Contents

History
Main article: History of Roads in Ireland
There have been routes and trackways in Ireland connecting settlements and facilitating trade since ancient times. Ireland was never part of the Roman Empire and, therefore, Roman roads were not built in Ireland.

 When driving in Ireland, there a few key things to remember: - Ireland drives on the left, like the rest of the British Isles. - Unless specified otherwise, the speed limit in cities and built-up areas is 50km/h, 80km/h on Regional roads labelled with R, 100km/h on National roads (designated with N) and 120km/h on motorways. - Some roads in Ireland have tolls and most of those do not take cards, so make sure you have some spare change in Euros to pay with. - Dublin’s M50 orbital motorway is a great way to avoid the busy city roads, although during peak hours allow extra time due to possible traffic. The M50 has speed limits ranging from 120km/h to 80km/h in the Airport Motorway-Port Tunnel section. - Rural coastal roads and some in-land roads can get very tight and often have stone walls on each side, so be wary of oncoming traffic on tight turns where visibility is obstructed. - If you use a GPS map or a mobile app that warns you of speed cameras, you must turn the function off due to such equipment being illegal in Ireland. - In emergencies, dial 112 to contact the police, ambulance or fire services. Check out our Ireland Driving Tips for additional information that will help you make the most of your visit to this great and scenic country.

 Another reason navigators are helpful is for exiting on roundabouts! Which brings me to my next point..
3. Get Used to Roundabouts
Ireland uses roundabouts whenever roads meet at a crossroads. I heard this is because it's more economical and saves on the need for traffic lights / traffic direction. Whatever the reason, get used to lots of roundabouts… and I'm not referring to those large, spacious loops you see in Germany! Irish roundabouts can be quite tight and the exit turns come quickly, sometimes before the driver even has a second to see the exit signs. It's really helpful to have google maps on your phone and a navigator to help you. 4. HUG the curb on the LEFT, stay WIDE on the RIGHT
When turning, just remember to repeat “hug the curb” when driving left, “wide” when turning right. After a shaky first day, we pretty much relaxed after that but I did hear from friends that it's when you get comfortable that accidents can happen, so stay vigilant!

Road signs in the Republic of Ireland do not differ greatly from those used elsewhere in Europe – with the notable exception that hazard or warning signs follow the "New World" model that is employed, notably, in the Americas, Australasia, and Japan: that is to say that they feature a black symbol on the background of a yellow diamond. The symbols used on these warning signs do, nevertheless, resemble much more closely those used (on red-bordered white or yellow triangles) in the rest of Europe than many of those seen in the United States. Regulatory signage (relating to limits and prohibitions) differs very little from that used in the rest of Europe. The system of directional signs is based upon, and is very similar to, that employed in the United Kingdom, but is bilingual everywhere except in the Gaeltacht, where only the Irish language is used on signs. All distances (and other measurements) are expressed in metric units.

 However map-type signs are occasionally used at normal intersections where it is necessary to sign a restriction (such as a weight or height restriction). At the junction itself, either a flag sign – a sign with a triangular point at one end and a chevron – or (on rural roads) a fingerpost points the driver in the direction to be taken. After the junction, a route confirmation sign listing the route number and the primary destinations will be erected. However, on rural roads, it is common for some or all of the above signage to be missing. Often junctions are signed with only a fingerpost . Destination signing policy
One feature of road signage in the Republic of Ireland, particularly along Dublin's quays, is that some national primary road signage directs drivers generically to destinations such as "The West" and "The South" and "The North". This system, inherited from the UK system, was banned under the 1996 TSM, which mandates the use of the terminal destination and next primary destination of the route instead, but signage was patched with specific destinations only in the early 2000s (decade). While this has been replaced with specific placenames in some cases, it remains in use in other areas. In summer 2006, signage for "North" and "South" was erected in Ashbourne at the start of the new N2 dual carriageway. Nevertheless, generally directional signage on major routes shows major or end destinations.

Motorway / high quality dual carriageway signage
Original design
The original design (1983–1989) of Republic of Ireland motorway signage was a simpler version of the UK design. These signs were only ever in use on the M7 Naas Bypass and M1 Airport Motorway and only rare examples are still in situ . From 1989–2005, signage on motorways was nearly identical to that on UK motorways (but see new motorway signage, below); although in the Republic of Ireland, motorway junctions were not always numbered, or the number was not always signposted.

Americans can use a US drivers license while in Ireland. Drivers in Ireland drive on the left side of the road, which can be initially confusing for Americans and others accustomed to traveling on the right side. Distances and speeds are marked in kilometers and kilometers per hour as in most countries in Europe. Roundabouts, which are rare in the United States, are common in Ireland. Yield right of way when entering a roundabout, and pay close attention to all signs and signals within it. Travel Tips Video

Turning right on red is legal by default in America, but it is illegal in Ireland. Wait for a green light or arrow. Automatic transmission cars are difficult to rent in Ireland, so you must learn to drive stick before you travel if you plan to drive. Finally, avoid using your cell phone while driving, which is illegal in Ireland. Harassment
Ireland is generally free of the political paramilitary violence that has plagued Northern Ireland, but things can occasionally get unpleasant for American tourists.

Turning right on red is legal by default in America, but it is illegal in Ireland. Wait for a green light or arrow. Automatic transmission cars are difficult to rent in Ireland, so you must learn to drive stick before you travel if you plan to drive. Finally, avoid using your cell phone while driving, which is illegal in Ireland. Harassment
Ireland is generally free of the political paramilitary violence that has plagued Northern Ireland, but things can occasionally get unpleasant for American tourists.

Roads and cars in Ireland
Total – 117,318 km (72,898 mi)
South: 92,500 km (57,500 mi) including 1,015 km (631 mi) of motorway (2010)
North: 24,818 km (15,421 mi) including 148 km (92 mi) of motorway (2008)
paved – 87,043 km (54,086 mi), unpaved – 5,457 km (3,391 mi)
Ireland's roads link Dublin with all the major cities (Belfast, Cork, Limerick, Derry, Galway, and Waterford ). Driving is on the left. Signposts in the Republic of Ireland are shown in kilometres and speed limits in kilometres per hour. Distance and speed limit signs in Northern Ireland use imperial units in common with the rest of the United Kingdom. Historically, land owners developed most roads and later turnpike trusts collected tolls so that as early as 1800 Ireland had a 16,100 kilometres (10,000 mi) road network. In 2005 the Irish Government launched Transport 21, a plan envisaging the investment of €34 billion in transport infrastructure from 2006 until 2015. Several road projects were progressed but the economic crisis that began in 2008–09 has prevented its full implementation. Between 2011 and 2015, diesel cars constituted 70% of new cars.

 Transport in Ireland
Ireland's national flag carrier is Aer Lingus, which services Europe, North America and North Africa, but the vast majority of flights originating from continental Europe come from another Irish company, Ryanair, the biggest low cost airline in the world. These airlines, along with others, fly into all three of Ireland's international airports, Shannon Airport, Dublin Airport and Cork Airport. Dublin Airport is by far the busiest, accounting for over 80% of passenger entering and leaving Ireland in 2011. Along with these airports there are several other regional airports in the country including Ireland West Airport Knock and Kerry Airport, which both operate international flights to Europe. For travellers from mainland Europe and the UK, another way to enter the country is by sea, with connections by ferry to Roscoff and Cherbourg in France, Liverpool in England and Pembroke, Fishguard and Holyhead in Wales, Douglas on the Isle of Man and Santander in Spain. These routes are operated by Irish Ferries, Stena Line, Celtic Link Ferries, P&O Ferries and Brittany Ferries. Motorways link Dublin with all the major cities in the country and there are plans to extend the motorway system in the future. In recent years the quality of Irish roads has improved dramatically with the advent of the Celtic Tiger and significant European Union funding, although outside the main routes, roads can be quite unpredictable in terms of quality and upkeep, especially in rural areas such as Co. Kerry and Co. Donegal. The rail and light rail network in Ireland is not as extensive as it once was, but it is still possible to get from city to city using the rail system, although many rural stations have closed along these lines. At the moment there is only one Light rail system in the country, the Luas in Dublin.

Navigation system
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
A navigation system is a computing system that aids in navigation. Navigation systems may be entirely on board the vehicle or vessel that the system is controlling (for example, on the ship's bridge) or located elsewhere, making use of radio or other signal transmission to control the vehicle or vessel. In some cases, a combination of these methods is used. Navigation systems may be capable of one or more of: containing maps, which may be displayed in human-readable format via text or in a graphical format
determining a vehicle or vessel's location via sensors, maps, or information from external sources
providing suggested directions to a human in charge of a vehicle or vessel via text or speech
providing directions directly to an autonomous vehicle such as a robotic probe or guided missile
providing information on nearby vehicles or vessels, or other hazards or obstacles
providing information on traffic conditions and suggesting alternative directions
simultaneous localization and mapping
acoustic positioning for underwater navigation
The first in-car navigation navigation system available to consumers in 1985 was called Etak Navigation. The company, Etak, was led by engineer Stan Honey and incubated by Nolan Bushnell 's Catalyst Technologies in Silicon Valley. Etak held a number of patents and produced digitized maps for the navigation system. The maps were streamed to the navigation system from special tape cassettes. The early digitized maps turned out to be more valuable than the navigation system. The car icon used in Etak Navigation display was a vector-based graphic based on Atari, Inc.'s Asteroids spaceship.

 There is also a branch from Coleraine to Portrush. Since 1984 an electrified train service run by Iarnród Éireann has linked Dublin with its coastal suburbs. Running initially between Bray and Howth, the Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART) system was extended from Bray to Greystones in 2000 and further extended from Howth Junction to Malahide. In 2004 a light rail system, Luas, was opened in Dublin serving the central and western suburbs, run by Veolia under franchise from the Railway Procurement Agency. The construction of the Luas system caused much disruption in Dublin. Plans to construct a Dublin Metro service including underground lines were mooted in 2001, but stalled in the financial crisis at the end of that decade. Ireland has one of the largest dedicated freight railways in Europe, operated by Bord na Móna totalling nearly 1,400 kilometres (870 mi). Road transport

Irish road signs to be aware of whilst driving in Ireland
Whilst here on your self drive Ireland Vacation you will encounter a number of road signs on your way. Irish road signs range from regulatory traffic signs (usually red and white) the motorway and mandatory traffic signs indicating traffic direction (white on blue background) both of which must be obeyed to warning signs in yellow and black that reveal an upcoming road hazard such as dangerous corners ahead. Road signs also include helpful tourist friendly signs highlighting places of interest as well as the directional road signs found at junctions that will direct you to the nearest town or region. Whilst many of these road signs you will encounter on a road trip in Ireland are universal and may appear similar to those found generally in Europe and the US it is worth noting the differences and exceptions. For instance in Ireland the “Give Way” sign (a red downward pointing triangle on a white background), will read as “Yield” and in some gaeltacht (irish speaking) areas where many road signs are printed as gaeilge (in Irish) it appears as “Géill Slí”. The many road signs you encounter on roads and urban streets will help to alert you to changes in the road up ahead as well as informing you of traffic or pedestrian restrictions. By getting to know or be aware of the many road signs you encounter on your Ireland vacation beforehand, you can ensure your stay in Ireland is as hassle free as possible. Leave this field empty

The largest city in the Republic of Ireland is Dublin. Due to its proximity to Britain, it was the most important city in Ireland during the Tudor conquest of Ireland and subsequent British Invasions until after 1922 when the Irish Free State was formed.

Ireland is an island in north-western Europe which has been divided politically since 1920. Most of the island is made up of Ireland (Irish: Éire, also known as Poblacht na hÉireann = the Republic of Ireland). The remainder is Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom . Understand
The island of Ireland historically consists of 32 counties, of which six, collectively known as Northern Ireland, have remained as part of the United Kingdom since the rest of Ireland gained self government in 1922. The name "Ireland" applies to the island as a whole, but in English is also the official name of the independent state (ie the 26 counties which are not part of the United Kingdom), since 1921.

Satellite navigation system performance is based on the following :
1 – GPS of the United States of America
2 – GLONASS of Russia
3 – Galileo of the European Union
4 – BeiDou of People’s Republic of China
5 – IRNSS or NAVIC of India
6 – QZSS of Japan
 Let’s look at each one in more detail. 1 – GPS of the United States of America
GPS (Global Positioning System) is the United States system that uses 32 satellites that are in medium Earth Orbit. They are placed in six distinct orbital planes, and older satellites are constantly replaced by new ones. It has been in operation since 1978 and it is the most used navigation system that incorporates satellites. 2 – GLONASS of Russia
GLONASS or Global Navigation Sputnik System is a Russian satellite navigation system that is used for civilian operations. It makes use of radio navigation satellites and is also utilized by the Aerospace Defence of the Russian Forces. It consists of 24 full orbital constellations of satellites that allow for global coverage. 3 – Galileo of the European Union
Galileo is the European Union satellite navigation system introduced in 2002. The European Space Agency also makes use of this system and is used as an alternative to the United States GPS. It makes use of 30 satellites that are in medium Earth orbit.

Thanks to globalisation, visiting Ireland for the first time isn’t the culture shock it may once have been to international travellers. Young Irish people – raised on a steady diet of Friends – now have accents with an American twinge, and the single currency has made travel within the eurozone significantly less complicated (while it lasts). But there are still a few things that are useful to know before you visit Ireland – such as the below. Northern Ireland Uses A Different Currency
Most people with enough interest in Ireland to visit will already know that it’s split into two different countries, but may not have thought through the practicalities. If travelling across the border, you should be aware that as part of the UK, Northern Ireland uses pound sterling, not the euro. Since international bank cards will work perfectly in ATMs and chip and pin terminals on both sides it won’t make a huge difference, but it’s worth knowing if you’re planning to shop – even before Brexit, grocery shopping bills in Northern Ireland were around 15 per cent cheaper than in the republic.

Non-EU Travellers Can Shop Tax-Free
In a related point, travellers from outside the EU are entitled to tax-free shopping in Ireland. Applying for a Fexco Horizon card before you arrive means you can then register and swipe it in any affiliated location in the country (including Avoca Handweavers, the Guinness Storehouse, Dublin Zoo and many more), before claiming back sales tax on those purchases at the airport on your way home. The service has even launched a tax-free shopping app, through which you can order and register your card, locate affiliated outlets and track purchases. Grafton Street | © antonf/Flickr
Rent A (Small) Car
While most of the major Irish sights can be taken in using public transport or tour buses, renting a car is worth considering, to get to those spectacular places off the beaten track.

 Global Navigation Satellite Systems
Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) provide coverage all over the world. Global Positioning System (GPS)
The NAVSTAR GPS system is composed of 24 satellites, and was created by the U.S. Department of Defense. It can be accessed anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line-of-sight to four or more GPS satellites. The system provides critical capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users worldwide and is freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver. Global Satellite Navigation System (GLONASS)
GLONASS is also composed of 24 satellites but was developed in the Soviet Union and is operated by the Russian Aerospace Defense Forces. This sat nav system is the only other navigational system in operation with global coverage and of comparable precision. Galileo
Galileo is a global navigation system developed by the European Union and European Space Agency intended primarily for civilian use. Named after the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, one of the goals was to provide a high-precision positioning system for European nations that would be independent from the Russian GLONASS, U.S. GPS, Indian IRNSS and Chinese Compass systems. The 30-satellite system first launched in 2011 with expected completion at the end of 2020. The use of the basic services is free and open to everyone, while the high-precision capabilities will be available for paying commercial users and for military use.

3 – Galileo of the European Union
4 – BeiDou of People’s Republic of China
5 – IRNSS or NAVIC of India
6 – QZSS of Japan
 Satellites use either CDMA or FDMA coding to transmit and receive data, similar to a CDMA mobile phone device. Orbital altitudes of the satellites vary between 20,000 km to 35,000 km above the Earth. As far as the number of satellites required for operation, GPS has the highest at around 32 while NAVIC has only about 7. Many countries have their own set of global satellite navigation systems. The United States Global Positioning System aka GPS, Russian GLONASS, China’s BeiDou Navigation System, European Unions’ Galileo, and the India’s NAVIC or NAVigation with Indian Constellation. Let’s look at each one in more detail. 1 – GPS of the United States of America
GPS (Global Positioning System) is the United States system that uses 32 satellites that are in medium Earth Orbit. They are placed in six distinct orbital planes, and older satellites are constantly replaced by new ones. It has been in operation since 1978 and it is the most used navigation system that incorporates satellites. 2 – GLONASS of Russia

 The system can be used for providing position, navigation or for tracking the position of something fitted with a receiver (satellite tracking). The signals also allow the electronic receiver to calculate the current local time to high precision, which allows time synchronisation. These uses are collectively known as Positioning, Navigation and Timing ( PNT ). Satnav systems operate independently of any telephonic or internet reception, though these technologies can enhance the usefulness of the positioning information generated. A satellite navigation system with global coverage may be termed a global navigation satellite system ( GNSS ). As of September 2020
[update]
, the United States ' Global Positioning System (GPS), Russia 's Global Navigation Satellite System ( GLONASS ), China 's BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) and the European Union 's Galileo are fully operational GNSSs. Japan's Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) is a (US) GPS satellite-based augmentation system to enhance the accuracy of GPS, with satellite navigation independent of GPS scheduled for 2023. The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) plans to expand to a global version in the long term. Global coverage for each system is generally achieved by a satellite constellation of 18–30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites spread between several orbital planes. The actual systems vary, but use orbital inclinations of >50° and orbital periods of roughly twelve hours (at an altitude of about 20,000 kilometres or 12,000 miles).

In Dublin, the electric rail system called the DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) is a quick and easy way to get around Dublin. It runs along the coast of the Irish Sea from Howth in north County Dublin to Bray south of Dublin in County Wicklow. However, the west side of the city is not served by the DART. A light rail system called LUAS is available in Dublin making it much easier to get around the city. You can purchase a Dublin Explorer ticket at any DART station which allows you travel around Dublin on DART and Dublin Bus services for four days. In Cork, there is an Eastern commuter rail line serving Fota and Cobh with immediate plans to extend to Middleton. There are also plans to open commuter stations on the Northern line at Blackpool and Blarney which currently serves only Mallow. Irish Rail Map

4 – BeiDou of People’s Republic of China
5 – IRNSS or NAVIC of India
6 – QZSS of Japan
 SAT NAV is used for both military and civilian purposes. Satellite navigation system performance is based on the following : Accuracy – How much of a difference is there between the measured position, time or speed of the device and the real one. Satellites have atomic clocks built into them for time accuracy, and receivers have a quartz clock to match the time sent from satellites. Continuity – The ability of the system to operate without interruptions
Integrity – Whenever there is an error in the position data, the device should provide for a threshold and alarm to alert the user
Availability – It is the time period when the system fulfills all of its accuracy, continuity and integrity criteria. Satellites use either CDMA or FDMA coding to transmit and receive data, similar to a CDMA mobile phone device. Orbital altitudes of the satellites vary between 20,000 km to 35,000 km above the Earth. As far as the number of satellites required for operation, GPS has the highest at around 32 while NAVIC has only about 7. Many countries have their own set of global satellite navigation systems. The United States Global Positioning System aka GPS, Russian GLONASS, China’s BeiDou Navigation System, European Unions’ Galileo, and the India’s NAVIC or NAVigation with Indian Constellation.

 Under the Irish government's Transport 21 plan, the Cork to Midleton rail link was reopened in 2009. The re-opening of the Navan - Clonsilla rail link and the Western Rail Corridor are amongst future projects as part of the same plan. Public transport services in Northern Ireland are sparse in comparison with those of the rest of Ireland or Great Britain. A large railway network was severely curtailed in the 1950s and 1960s. Current services includes suburban routes to Larne, Newry and Bangor, as well as services to Derry. There is also a branch from Coleraine to Portrush. Since 1984 an electrified train service run by Iarnród Éireann has linked Dublin with its coastal suburbs. Running initially between Bray and Howth, the Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART) system was extended from Bray to Greystones in 2000 and further extended from Howth Junction to Malahide. In 2004 a light rail system, Luas, was opened in Dublin serving the central and western suburbs, run by Veolia under franchise from the Railway Procurement Agency. The construction of the Luas system caused much disruption in Dublin.

 Many apps only use degrees and decimals to report positions, which could be confusing, particularly in an emergency situation. Range rings
Set up range rings to use as clearing zones on navigational hazards, or even to indicate the three-boat-length zone around a mark when racing. Velocity vector

 The current status is less than half that amount, with a large unserviced area around the border area between Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland . Railways on the island of Ireland are run by Iarnród Éireann (Irish Rail) within Ireland and Northern Ireland Railways within Northern Ireland. The two companies jointly operate the island's only cross-border service, the Enterprise, between Dublin and Belfast. The Railway Preservation Society of Ireland based in Whitehead, County Antrim runs preserved steam trains on the main line, with the Irish Traction Group preserving diesel locomotives, and operating on the main line. The Downpatrick & County Down Railway is the only self-contained full-size heritage railway in the island of Ireland. Contents

Transport before railways
Transport on a country-wide scale began in 1710 with the introduction by the General Post Office of mail coaches on the main routes between towns. Private operators added to the routes, and an established "turnpike" road system started in the 1730s. In 1715 the Irish Parliament took steps to encourage inland navigation, but it was not until 1779 that the first 19 km (12 mi) section of the Grand Canal was opened. The addition of the Royal Canal and river navigation (particularly on the River Shannon) meant that freight could be transported more easily. Charles Bianconi established his horse-car services in the south in 1815, the first of many such passenger-carrying operations.

In Conclusion
 BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS)
The BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) is a Chinese satellite navigation system, consisting of two separate satellite constellations. The first, BeiDou-1, was launched in 2000 and decommissioned in 2012, offered limited coverage and navigation services, mainly for users in China and neighboring regions. The second system, or BeiDou-2, was launched in 2011 with a partial constellation of 10 satellites in orbit and serves customers in the Asia-Pacific region. China’s third generation system, or BeiDou-3, was launched in 2015. Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS)
The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) is a four-satellite regional time transfer system and Satellite Based Augmentation System for the Global Positioning System developed by Japan, serving the Asia-Oceanic region. QZSS is targeted at mobile applications to provide communications-based services and positioning information. Its three satellites, each 120° apart, are in highly-inclined, slightly elliptical, geosynchronous orbits. Because of this, they do not remain in the same place in the sky. Their ground traces are asymmetrical figure-8 patterns, created to ensure that one is almost directly over Japan at all times. Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS)
The Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS), also known as NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation), is an autonomous regional satellite navigation system developed by the Indian Space Research Organization to provide standard service for civilian use and an encrypted restricted service for authorized users (military), covering India and the surrounding region with plans for further expansion.

 Then, as the constellation is built-up, new services will be tested and made available, with system completion scheduled for 2020. Although the use of GNSS input for RNAV has made this method of navigation truly global, it has led to the availability of a very wide range of accuracy in RNAV - and therefore the uses to which it can be put - depending on how GNSS data is used. RNAV use of GNSS varies from hand held GPS, as an aid to day Visual Flight Rules (VFR) navigation, to the use of approach procedures which meet the highest accuracy and integrity standards of RNP-RNAV. In Europe, Basic Area Navigation (B-RNAV) has been in use since 1998 and is mandated for aircraft using higher level airspace. It requires a minimum navigational accuracy of +/- 5nm (RNP=5) for 95% of the time and is not approved for use below Minimum Sector Altitude. European standards for Precision Area Navigation (P-RNAV) are now also defined - a navigational accuracy of +/- 1nm (RNP=1) for 95% of the time. Qualifying systems must have the ability to fly accurate tactical offsets, P-RNAV routes must be extracted directly from the FMS data base and must be flown by linking the R-NAV system to the Flight Management System / Autopilot. As well, flight crews are restricted from manually adding waypoints to the route. This level of navigation accuracy can be achieved using DME/DME, VOR/DME or GPS. It can also be maintained for short periods using IRS (the length of time that a particular IRS can be used to maintain P-RNAV accuracy without external update is determined at the time of equipment certification).

The largest city in the Republic of Ireland is Dublin. Due to its proximity to Britain, it was the most important city in Ireland during the Tudor conquest of Ireland and subsequent British Invasions until after 1922 when the Irish Free State was formed. As the British held a presence here for over 500 years, most of the historic buildings from the 1500s on were built by them. As Dublin Airport is located just outside the city, most international visitors to Ireland begin their stay here. Among the main attractions in Dublin are Dublin Castle, the seat of British rule in Ireland until 1922, Phoenix Park, one of the largest inner city parks in the world, The General Post Office, one of Ireland's most famous buildings due to the 1916 Easter rising, Kilmainham Gaol, a former prison turned museum that held and executed the rebels of the 1916 Rising and Trinity College, where the Book of Kells and the Book of Durrow are held. In 2010, Dublin was awarded the title of UNESCO City of Literature, as many famous writers such as James Joyce and Samuel Beckett are from the city. Other Attractions

 Automotive navigation system
A GPS receiver in civilian automobile use. Air navigation systems usually have a moving map display and are often connected to the autopilot for en-route navigation. Cockpit-mounted GNSS receivers and glass cockpits are appearing in general aviation aircraft of all sizes, using technologies such as WAAS or LAAS to increase accuracy. Many are certified for instrument flight rules navigation, and some can also be used for final approach and landing operations as in Joint precision approach and landing system. Glider pilots use GNSS Flight Recorders to log GNSS data verifying their arrival at turn points in gliding competitions, and for information to aid en route decision making for cross-country soaring. Boats and ships can use GNSS to navigate all of the world's lakes, seas and oceans. Maritime GNSS units include functions useful on water, such as "man overboard" (MOB) functions that allow instantly marking the location where a person has fallen overboard, which simplifies rescue efforts. GNSS may be connected to the ships self-steering gear and Chartplotters using the NMEA 0183 interface. GNSS can also improve the security of shipping traffic by enabling AIS.

 Tourism in the Republic of Ireland is one of the biggest contributors to the economy of the Republic of Ireland, with 9.0 million people visiting the country in 2017, about 1.8 times Ireland's population. Each year about €5bn in revenue is made from economic activities directly related to tourists, accounting for about 4% of GNP and employing over 200,000 people. In 2011 alone, Ireland was voted 'Favourite holiday destination in the World' by readers of Frommer's Guide, Lonely Planet listed Ireland as the world's friendliest country and Cork City as one of the top ten cities in the world and the Irish tourist boards website, DiscoverIreland.com, was named the best tourist board website in the world. Most tourists visiting Ireland come from the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany and France. Contents

Transport in Ireland
Main article: Transport in Ireland
Ireland's national flag carrier is Aer Lingus, which services Europe, North America and North Africa, but the vast majority of flights originating from continental Europe come from another Irish company, Ryanair, the biggest low cost airline in the world. These airlines, along with others, fly into all three of Ireland's international airports, Shannon Airport, Dublin Airport and Cork Airport. Dublin Airport is by far the busiest, accounting for over 80% of passenger entering and leaving Ireland in 2011. Along with these airports there are several other regional airports in the country including Ireland West Airport Knock and Kerry Airport, which both operate international flights to Europe. For travellers from mainland Europe and the UK, another way to enter the country is by sea, with connections by ferry to Roscoff and Cherbourg in France, Liverpool in England and Pembroke, Fishguard and Holyhead in Wales, Douglas on the Isle of Man and Santander in Spain.

Map
Active railways in Ireland, with locations of major airports and ports in proximity to rail lines

Rail transport in Ireland (InterCity, commuter and freight) is provided by Iarnród Éireann in the Republic of Ireland and by Northern Ireland Railways in Northern Ireland . Most routes in the Republic radiate from Dublin. Northern Ireland has suburban routes from Belfast and two main InterCity lines, to Derry and cross- border to Dublin. The accompanying map of the current railway network shows lines that are fully operational (in red), carrying freight only traffic (in black) and with dotted black lines those which have been "mothballed" (i.e. closed to traffic but potentially easy to re-open). Some airports are indicated but none are rail-connected, although Kerry Airport and Belfast City Airport are within walking distance of a railway station. Both the City of Derry Airport and Belfast International (Aldergrove) are near railway lines but not connected. Ports are marked, although few remain rail-connected. Larne Harbour, Belview Port and Rosslare Europort are ports that are still connected. Ireland's only light rail service, named Luas, is in Dublin.

The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System ( IRNSS ), with an operational name of NavIC (acronym for Nav igation with I ndian C onstellation; also, nāvik 'sailor' or 'navigator' in Indian languages), is an autonomous regional satellite navigation system that provides accurate real-time positioning and timing services. It covers India and a region extending 1,500 km (930 mi) around it, with plans for further extension. An extended service area lies between the primary service area and a rectangle area enclosed by the 30th parallel south to the 50th parallel north and the 30th meridian east to the 130th meridian east, 1,500–6,000 km (930–3,730 mi) beyond borders. The system currently consists of a constellation of seven satellites, with two additional satellites on ground as stand-by. The constellation is in orbit as of 2018, and the system was expected to be operational from early 2018 after a system check. NavIC will provide two levels of service, the "standard positioning service", which will be open for civilian use, and a "restricted service" (an encrypted one) for authorised users (including the military).

Navigation software for use on the water has many features in common with land-based GPS navigation software. It can use electronic navigation chart or raster charts, usually provides user ability to plan routes and set waypoints, and may have live GPS tracking capabilities. In addition, marine navigation software often has option to control external autopilot for automated boat navigation. It may incorporate GRIB weather overlay on the chart, Tide predictions and other related information services of additional use to mariners. Free open source marine navigation software
OpenCPN (Cross-platform) open source and free
Aeronautical navigation software
This kind of software usually creates a modern glass cockpit and uses more than just a single GPS sensor to assist the navigation. Such sensors are Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors.

For a list of tourist attractions in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, see List of tourist attractions in Ireland. The Cliffs of Moher in County Clare attracts around 1 million visitors each year. Ireland has many beaches and Seaside resorts such as this one in Kilkee. Dublin Castle, the former seat of British rule in Ireland. Phoenix Park, the largest inner city park in Europe. Tourism in the Republic of Ireland is one of the biggest contributors to the economy of the Republic of Ireland, with 9.0 million people visiting the country in 2017, about 1.8 times Ireland's population. Each year about €5bn in revenue is made from economic activities directly related to tourists, accounting for about 4% of GNP and employing over 200,000 people. In 2011 alone, Ireland was voted 'Favourite holiday destination in the World' by readers of Frommer's Guide, Lonely Planet listed Ireland as the world's friendliest country and Cork City as one of the top ten cities in the world and the Irish tourist boards website, DiscoverIreland.com, was named the best tourist board website in the world.

Finland has adopted the resolution but does not require the ICC for normal yachts ("sufficient age and skill" is enough) and does not use CEVNI for its inland waters. Some official and some quality assured non-official certificates (mainly the coastal master certificates of the navigation association and the scouts) are regarded as fulfilling knowledge requirements of ICC for coastal waters. Courses for the CEVNI part are arranged separately by many organisations. The certificate itself is issued by the authorities, usually based on such documents. The ICC is required for masters of boats chartered manned for international voyages (in addition to a domestic certificate) and for masters of recreational vessels with length more than 24 metres. Ireland
The Irish Sailing Association is uniquely authorized by the Irish Department of Transport to issue ICC's to only Irish Citizens. Holders of the ICC license are able to operate recreational vessels for recreational use in European waters where an ICC is required, and proves to local authorities that the skipper has the required Irish qualifications for skippering the vessel.

 As Dave pointed out, GLONASS is maintained by Russia, Galileo by Europe and BeiDou by China. All of these systems and others comprise the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). There is a subset of GNSS called satellite based augmentation system (SBAS). Under this subset is the U.S. wide area augmentation system (WAAS), EGNOS by Europe, MSAS by Japan and GAGAN by India. "Random" Area Navigation (RNAV) allows an aircraft to choose any course within a network of ground based stations or GNSS. It is typically developed and flight checked (in the U.S.) and published as procedures. In the U.S. you will see approaches titled RNAV (GPS)... that use procedures developed by the FAA. Share

 2) OMEGA
OMEGA, which became operational in 1971, was the first global radio navigation system. It enabled aircraft to navigate using very low-frequency radio signals around the world. There were 8 OMEGA transmitters placed around the globe. The OMEGA system was shut down in 1997 due to the widespread use of GPS, but one of its stations in La Moure, ND, was converted to a US Navy submarine communication station. Wikipedia

Loran-C, which gained popularity in the 1970s, used a network of land-based radio beacons to create a long-range and highly accurate navigation system. But its fate was sealed by GPS as well. While Loran-C is still operated, many stations around the world have been shut down, or are the process of being decommissioned. Wikipedia
4) Inertial Navigation System (INS)
Originally developed for rockets, INS systems started to show up in the 1940s, with the German V2 rocket housing one of the first successful systems. Completely self-contained, INS systems use a series of accelerometers and gyroscopes to determine their position. In the 1960s, INS reached widespread usage in civilian and military aircraft for worldwide navigation.

2) OMEGA
OMEGA, which became operational in 1971, was the first global radio navigation system. It enabled aircraft to navigate using very low-frequency radio signals around the world. There were 8 OMEGA transmitters placed around the globe. The OMEGA system was shut down in 1997 due to the widespread use of GPS, but one of its stations in La Moure, ND, was converted to a US Navy submarine communication station. Wikipedia

 GPS Navigation
The global positioning system has become the most valuable method of navigation in the modern aviation world. GPS has proven to be tremendously reliable and precise and is probably the most common NAVAID in use today. The global positioning system uses 24 U.S. Department of Defense satellites to provide precise location data, such as aircraft position, track, and speed to pilots. The GPS system uses triangulation to determine the aircraft's exact position over the earth. To be accurate, a GPS system must have the ability to gather data from at least three satellites for 2-D positioning, and four satellites for 3-D positioning. GPS has become a preferred method of navigating due to the accuracy and ease of use. Though there are errors associated with GPS, they are rare. GPS systems can be used anywhere in the world, even in mountainous terrain, and they aren't prone to the errors of radio NAVAIDS, such as line-of-sight and electrical interference. How Pilots Use NAVAIDS
Pilots will fly under visual flight rules (VFR) or instrument flight rules (IFR), depending on the weather conditions. During visual meteorological conditions (VMC), a pilot might fly by using pilotage and dead reckoning alone, or they might use radio navigation or GPS navigation techniques.

Radar navigation; radar signals are easily detected so radar is normally only used in friendly waters entering and exiting ports. With the implementation of a more advanced radar system, many new techniques have been implemented in this process. Active sonar; like radar, active sonar systems are readily detected, so active sonar is usually used only entering and exiting ports. Pilotage — in coastal and internal waters, surfaced submarines rely on the standard system of navigational aids (buoys, navigational markers, lighthouses, etc.), utilizing the periscopes for obtaining lines of position to plot a triangulation fix.
