In a scanning apparatus, a scanning spot is moved along a path from one track to another track of the information carrier, the scanning spot is accelerated in a first stage of the movement and decelerating in a second stage of the movement. Initially during the movement a displacement of the scanning spot is derived from a first and a second position signal. The velocity of the scanning spot is estimated during movement along the path. After the estimated velocity of the scanning spot exceeds a first predetermined value during the first stage of the movement, the displacement of the scanning spot is derived from the first position signal and independent from the second position signal, during movement along the path. After the estimated velocity has decreased below a second predetermined value during the second stage of the movement, the displacement of the scanning spot is again derived from both the first and the second position signal, during movement along the path.
