Radio navigation device and method for receiving, evaluating and processing faulty navigation signals

A method for receiving, evaluating and processing navigation signals for satellite-supported position determination, in particular using a radio navigation device including a data bank associated with a satellite and that provides substantially statically stored, pre-determinable positioning data on regions where previously-detected radio navigation signals were determined to be deficient or lacking radio navigation signal reception, and sends error information of the previously-detected radio navigation signals to a receiving apparatus in response a current location being at least proximate the regions that are deficient or lacking radio navigation signal reception, a position being determined when the radio navigation signals are unavailable, comprising:

• providing, by the radio navigation device, at least one receiving apparatus and at least one evaluating apparatus and a data bank;
• connecting, by the radio navigation device, the evaluating apparatus to the data bank associated with a satellite, the data bank having positioning data which are pre-determined and comprising predictable, statically stored regions that are deficient or lacking radio navigation signal reception;
• sending, by the radio navigation device, the pre-determined positioning data of the data bank based upon pre-defined location information with regard to predictable regions that are deficient or lacking radio navigation signal reception and error information of the received navigation signals to at least one of the evaluating apparatus;
• and
• determining, by the radio navigation device, the corrected position of at least one receiving apparatus by using the positioning data of the data bank associated with a satellite, the radio navigation signals being deficient.

• sending, by the radio navigation device, the pre-determined positioning data of the data bank dependently upon predefined location information with regard to predictable that are deficient or lacking radio navigation signal reception and error information of the received navigation signals to at least one of the evaluating apparatus;
