Abstract
A device which converts geographic coordinates such as track logs to navigational routes matched to known road networks includes a GPS receiver; a display; and a processing system. The GPS receiver determines a series of geographic coordinates corresponding to points along a path traveled by a user of the device. The processing system accesses the series of geographic coordinates; compares them to a database of known paths to find a match; and displays at least a portion of the matching path along with navigational information which permits the user to generally follow the series of geographic coordinates while traveling on the path.

13. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a display for displaying information; a location determining component for determining a series of geographic coordinates corresponding to points along a path traveled by a user of the device; a processing system coupled with the display and the location determining component for accessing the series of geographic coordinates, comparing the series of geographic coordinates to geographic coordinates of known paths, and selecting a known path which most closely matches the series of geographic coordinates, wherein the processing system causes the display to display at least a portion of the known path which most closely matches the series of geographic coordinates. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method of displaying a route on a display of a navigational device, the method comprising the steps:
-
accessing a series of geographical coordinates; comparing the series of geographical coordinates to a plurality of known paths; determining which of the plurality of known paths best matches the series of geographical coordinates; and displaying at least a portion of the known path which best matches the series of geographical coordinates.
