The navigation software played an import role in controlling-decision for Automatic Navigation system. It mainly completed data reading, data processing and data outputting. The data reading module accepted date from different sensors via serial ports and extracted useful information. The data processing module included improving positioning accuracy and calculating the value of control parameter. The data outputting module showed the navigation status for users. The software ran well in practice.
