Sample questions

  1. Whenever a GPS (Global Positioning System) is used while driving, it is safer to use the function that allows the use of:

    • Maps rather than using voice synthesisers;
    • Cartographic maps in conjunction with digital maps;
    • Voice synthesisers that allow the indication of the route or heading.

  2. When planning a transport service in which speed is important, the following should be checked on the map:

    • The representation of motorways, IPs, ICs and other roads that best serve the intended route;
    • The roads that serve the intended destination, since nowadays all roads are equally fast;
    • Mainly, the representation of ICs and municipal roads, as these routes are among the fastest and toll-free.

  3. Do road maps include the numerical identification of the different roads represented on them?

    • Yes;
    • No, they only include alphabetical identification;
    • No, except in the case of motorways.

  4. The correct use of GPS (Global Positioning System) on a journey across Europe:

    • Is less informative and less advantageous than a road map;
    • Causes a considerable increase in fuel consumption;
    • Constitutes a useful navigation aid for the driver.

  5. Consulting a road map by the driver while the vehicle is in motion:

    • Constitutes the most appropriate way of consulting any road map;
    • Can seriously compromise the safety intended in driving;
    • Contributes to greater traffic flow, as it avoids stops and does not compromise road safety.

  6. The GPS (Global Positioning System) allows the driver to obtain, among others, the following information:

    • Average speed, location of service areas, places of tourist interest and police patrols;
    • Average speed, location of service areas and places of tourist interest, as well as the corresponding altitude value;
    • Average speed, location of service areas, places of tourist interest and speed cameras.

  7. To carry out a journey between Lisbon and a specific street in Paris assisted by GPS (Global Positioning System), the driver must:

    • Insert the maps into the device's roller;
    • Make contact, via radio or telephone, with the satellite;
    • Enter into the device the data relating to the destination point, so that the route appears marked on the map,

  8. Can a GPS (Global Positioning System) provide information about the distance to the next change of direction?

    • Yes;
    • No;
    • No, as it only provides information about the route in a straight line.

  9. Checking the scale of a map is important, as it makes it possible to:

    • Check the length of the map and its representation;
    • Check the length of the representation of a given road section and its equivalence in real kilometres;
    • Check whether a given country is fully represented on the map.

  10. For a user to receive a signal through a GPS (Global Positioning System) navigation system, it is necessary to have:

    • An ordinary radio capable of receiving the said signal;
    • A sound amplifier;
    • A GPS Receiver.
