Method and assembly for determining a route
First Claim
1. A method of determining a route using a computer system, a map and a user operated sensing device, wherein:
- the map shows a geographic area and includes coded data that is indicative of the map, and reference points on the map;
the sensing device is operable to sense the coded data and generate indicating data relating to the map'"'"'s identity and one or more of the reference points; and
, the computer system is operable to identify a geographic location from the indicating data, the method comprising the steps of;
positioning the sensing device relative to the map to generate indicating data specifying a point on the route; and
, providing the indicating data to the computer system for it to determine a route incorporating the specified point.

Abstract
The present invention provides determines a route using a computer system, a map and a user operated sensing device, wherein: the map shows a geographic area and includes coded data that is indicative of the map, and reference points on the map; the sensing device is operable to sense the coded data and generate indicating data relating to the map'"'"'s identity and one or more of the reference points; and, the computer system is operable to identify a geographic location from the indicating data. The sensing device is positioned relative to the map to generate indicating data specifying a point on the route; and, the indicating data is sent to the computer system for it to determine a route incorporating the specified point.
