Navigation using tracking system multi-function devices
First Claim
1. A tracking system for acquiring and exchanging 3-D positions to provide navigational guidance to a user, comprising:
- a plurality of multi-function devices each defining a frame of reference, at least one of said plurality being adapted to be carried by said user;
a communication link for linking communication between said plurality of multi-function devices to form a mesh network;
said plurality of multi-function devices being adapted to calculate, exchange and process waypoint information indicative of the location of itself, the device carried by said user, and at least one other said device to thereby provide the route taken by said user; and
a display on said multi-function device carried by said user for displaying a 3-D navigation guidance to said user.

Abstract
A system for selectively acquiring, processing and displaying 3-D waypoints in a manner suitable for the purpose of providing selected hands-free navigation guidance to a user. The system includes a plurality of multi-function devices for defining a frame of reference, at least one of the plurality being adapted to be carried by the user. A communication link provides communication between the plurality of multi-function device means to form a mesh network. The multi-function devices calculate, exchange and process waypoint information indicative of the location of itself, the device carried by the user, and at least one other the device means to thereby provide the route taken by the user. A display gives a 3-D navigation guidance to the user.
