First Claim
1. A method for automatically creating POI by identifying geographic information on a screen of a portable navigation device, comprising:
- retrieving a first geographic information from an information page shown on the screen of the portable navigation device;
recognizing the first geographic information by comparing the first geographic information to a geographic information of landmarks stored in a map database of the portable navigation device;
determining whether the first geographic information is in the map database;
obtaining a first GPS coordinate corresponding to the first geographic information if the first geographic information is in the map database; and
storing the first GPS coordinate as a first POI.

Abstract
A method for automatically creating POI by identifying geographic information on a screen of a portable navigation device is disclosed. A first geographic information is retrieved from an information page shown in the screen of the portable navigation device and recognized by comparing with the first geographic information with a geographic information of landmarks stored in a map database of the portable navigation device. It is determined whether the first geographic information is in the map database. If the geographic information is in the map database, a first GPS coordinate corresponding to the first geographic information is obtained and stored as a first POI.
