Abstract
An audiovisual navigation system and method displays a geographical site in the form of audiovisual data to create an interactive, visually enhanced navigational tool useful for receiving graphical directions and suggestions while traveling. The geographical site can be a position, starting point, destination point, and route that is located by a positioning system. Each geographical site correlates to a unique audiovisual data that is stored in a database. For example, each street has its own video, and each building has its own set of images that display at the appropriate time. The audiovisual data includes an interactive combination of audio signals, videos, and images. The audiovisual data synchronizes with a positioning system, such that the audiovisual data changes as the located geographical site changes. The system can be monetized by enabling members in a network to share and contribute audiovisual data for a geographic site, business, or route.
