Abstract

A device which converts geographic coordinates such as track logs to navigational routes matched to known road networks includes a GPS receiver; a display; and a processing system. The GPS receiver determines a series of geographic coordinates corresponding to points along a path traveled by a user of the device. The processing system accesses the series of geographic coordinates; compares them toa database of known paths to find a match; and displays at least a portion of the matching path along with navigational information which permits the user to generally follow the series of geographiccoordinates while traveling on the path.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electronic equipment such as navigation equipment and similar equipment. More particularly, the present invention relates to devices, systems and methods for converting geographic coordinates, such as track records, into navigation routes that match known paths, such as known road networks. Background technique [0002] Users of navigation devices often wish to store the coordinates of points on their travel path. A collection of these points is often called a track log, and is the electronic equivalent to the process of laying down a breadcrumb trail to mark a path. These points can then be displayed as a line on a map page to form a track, whereby the user can see where he has been. [0003] Many navigation devices also provide directions to help the user navigate back a track to return to the starting point or to allow the user to navigate to a stored track at a later time. These devices typically remove certain p...
