1. A method for coordinate generation to be implemented using an orientation device that is provided with a sensor, said method comprising the steps of:

  • A) providing at least three reference marks on a target;

    B) aiming the orientation device at an initial point on the target, and operating the orientation device such that the sensor is able to capture an image of the target that contains at least one of the reference marks;

    C) from the image captured in step B), correlating a coordinate space of the orientation device with a coordinate space of the target;

    D) aiming the orientation device at a target point on the target, and operating the orientation device such that the sensor is able to capture an image of the target that contains the reference marks; and

    E) determining relative coordinates of the target point with reference to the coordinate space relation established in step C), and the image captured in step D).
