Abstract

A more accurate navigation method allowing the user to check the destination information online with personal computer and then performs steps of settings, searching and modifying the destination position on the website, draws the route inside the large destination from entrance to the final parking space, downloads the edited data and import the data to the navigation device by external transmission device. The navigation device is therefore capable of navigating the users to an approximate destination position and then accurately navigating the users to the specific parking space that is closest to the final destination.

Claims

1. A more accurate navigation method comprising a website with map data and editing software to allow user to edit destination file thereon, and a navigation device capable of reading the destination file, wherein the destination file comprises at least name, longitude and latitude coordinate and map or satellite image of the destination;

wherein, the navigation method of the present invention comprises at least the following steps;

Step a;

providing a website with map data and editing software;

user input the name and address of the destination on the website and thereby generates a mark point on the map thereof, and the longitude and latitude coordinate of the mark point position is then recorded;

Step b;

allowing the user to adjust the mark point position, and automatically updating the longitude and latitude coordinate of the mark point position after the adjustment;

Step c;

allowing the user to make marks or draw routes on the map or satellite image;

Step d;

packing the destination file for the user to download or send out, wherein the destination file comprises at least the name, the coordinate and map or satellite image of the destination; and

Step e;

importing the destination file to the navigation device, and performing navigation according to the longitude and latitude coordinate position.

2. The more accurate navigation method as described in claim 1, wherein the website is capable of performing at least the following steps:

Step 1;

providing a website with map data and editing software;

user input the name and address of the destination on the website and thereby generates a mark point on the map thereof, and the longitude and latitude coordinate of the mark point position is then recorded;

Step 2;

allowing the user to adjust the mark point position, and automatically updating the longitude and latitude coordinate of the mark point position after the adjustment;

Step 3;

allowing the user to make marks or draw routes on the map or satellite image; and

Step 4;

packing the destination file for the user to download or send out, wherein the destination file comprises at least the name, the coordinate and map or satellite image of the destination.

3. The more accurate navigation method as described in claim 1, wherein the navigation device is capable of performing at least the following steps:

Step 1;

importing the destination file to the navigation device, and performing navigation according to the longitude and latitude coordinate position; and

Step 2;

displaying the map or satellite image on the screen when reaches the destination.

4. The more accurate navigation method as described in claim 1, wherein the map or satellite image has at least three points with longitude and latitude coordinate thereon;

and by the longitude and latitude coordinates of the points and the vehicle'"'"'s current position, the vehicle'"'"'s current position is thereby being marked on the image.

5. The more accurate navigation method as described in claim 1, wherein the navigation method further comprises:

Step f;

displaying the map or satellite image on the screen when reaches the destination.
