Method and system for facilitating use of the global positioning system (GPS)
First Claim
1. A method for facilitating use of the global positioning system (GPS) the method comprising the steps of:
- coupling a client device to a network and to a GPS device;
using the client device to access a database through the network, the database containing the GPS coordinates that correspond to a plurality of locations;
obtaining from the database the GPS coordinates corresponding to at least one location; and
providing the GPS coordinates corresponding to the at least one location to the GPS device.

Abstract
Methods for facilitating use of the global positioning system (GPS) by obtaining the GPS coordinates that correspond to a location and providing the coordinates to GPS device are disclosed. An illustrative method includes the steps of coupling a client device to a network and to a GPS device, using the client device to access a database through the network, the database containing the GPS coordinates that correspond to a plurality of locations, obtaining from the database the GPS coordinates corresponding to at least one location, and providing the GPS coordinates corresponding to the at least one location to the GPS device. Illustrative methods are implemented via the web and via e-mail. Systems and computer-readable media also are provided.
