Method of navigating of and a navigation system for a moving means
First Claim
1. A method of navigating a movable means selected from the group consisting of a vehicle, a motor vehicle, a ship and an airplane, from an initial point to a destination point, comprising the steps of providing a moving means with a destination guiding device;
- guiding the moving means along a preliminarily calculated route from an initial point to a destination point by means of the destination guiding device;
before boarding the moving means, inputting at least one destination point in a data processing device which is external to the moving means, calculating in the external data processing device at least one route, transmitting corresponding route data through a transmission line to the destination guiding device, and performing the transmitting of the route data via a direct communication connection between the external data processing device and the destination guiding device of the moving means.
