The novel navigation system, suited for commercial aircraft, includes a sensor for outputting a signal representing a first navigation parameter, a memory having condensed gravity compensation data, and a processor for deriving a second navigational parameter. The processor derives the second navigational parameter from the signal and a subset of the condensed compensation data based on aircraft position. The condensed memory, based on regional gravity deflections, stores sequential gravity compensation values and corresponding navigational coordinates. To conserve memory, adjacent compensation values differ by at least a preset gravity compensation increment. The compensation increment, based on a gravity deflection between 30 and 100 micro-radians, is adequate for commercial aircraft.
