1. A system for locating and tracking a mobile rover from a mobile controller said system being operable with a communication network for communication between them and with at least one location technology source for transmitting location related measurement data applicable to computation of the location of the controller and computation of the location of a rover said system comprising;

  • a mobile controller having a receiver for receiving location measurement data from a location technology source and a communication module for receiving and sending communications via the communication network and a means for determining the heading of the controller;

    a mobile rover having a receiver for receiving location measurement data from a location technology source and a communication module for receiving and sending communications via the communication network;

    one or more specially programmed computer elements enabled to receive and process location related measurement data from signals received by the controller and the rover respectively from the location technology source, to determine the most common set of location measurement data sources to be used for further calculations and using said data to determine the relative spatial position of the rover relative to the controller and further using the means to determine the heading of the controller to determine the bearing of the rover relative to the controller and the controller having a display module enabled to display the bearing of the rover relative to the controller.
