NAVIGATION SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING CELESTIAL AND TERRESTRIAL INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A navigation system, comprising:
- a housing;
a GPS receiver disposed in the housing and configured to receive a GPS location signal;
a database disposed in the housing and containing celestial data;
a processor operatively coupled to the GPS receiver and the database, the processor determining a user'"'"'s location from the GPS location signal;
a sensor operatively coupled to the processor and contained in the housing, the sensor is adapted to provide the processor with a rotational angle representing the orientation of the housing; and
a display unit operatively coupled to the processor, the display unit displaying the celestial data to the user corresponding to the rotational angle of the housing.
