Appeal No. 95-1866 Application 07/878,500 system was mounted in a vehicle can be preformed with ease" (Specification at 3, lines 10-12). Claim 1, the sole independent claims, reads as follows: 1. A location detecting system mounted on a vehicle, comprising: sensor means; a main body having an operating mode consisting of a traveling mode and a simulation mode and including location detecting means for calculating a current location of said vehicle on the basis of data sensed by said sensor means and further including a navigation controller connected to said location detecting means; change-over means for changing over said operating mode to said traveling mode or said simulation mode; storage means detachably connected to said main body; write means for storing said data sensed by said sensor means into said storage means when said storage means is connected to said main body and also said main body is in said traveling mode; read means for inhibiting said data sensed by said sensor means from being supplied to said location detecting means and instead supplying the data stored in said storage means to said location detecting means, when said storage means is connected to said main body and said main body is in said simulation mode; and displaying means for displaying during said traveling mode said current location of said vehicle calculated by said location detecting means, wherein during said simulation mode, said location detecting means calculates a vehicle location based on said data supplied from said storage means, said calculated vehicle location being displayed by means during said simulation mode.
