Method for navigating an object
First Claim
1. Method for navigating an object starting from a starting point to a destination along traffic routes which are contained in an electronically stored traffic route map, and which traffic routes are provided with routing points, comprising steps of:
- assigning routing values to the routing points, which routing values, starting from the destination, are calculated in the manner of a propagating wave across the traffic routes, either only increase or only decrease as the distance from the destination in any traffic route grows larger; and
navigating the object using the routing values which only decrease or only increase irrespective of the traffic route being followed.

Abstract
A method for navigating an object, such as a radio telephone, from a starting point to a destination along traffic routes that are contained in an electronically stored traffic route map and are in the form of routing points. The routing points are assigned routing values which, starting from the destination, either only increase or only decrease as the distance from the destination grows larger. The object is then navigated by following a path of routing values which only decrease or only increase.

19. Method for navigating an object starting from a starting point to a destination along traffic routes which are contained in an electronically stored traffic route map, and which traffic routes are provided with routing points comprising the steps of:
-
assigning routing values to the routing points within a map excerpt of said stored traffic route map determined by the positions of the starting point and destination, which routing values, starting from the destination, are calculated in the manner of a propagating wave across the traffic routes, either only increase or only decrease as the distance from the destination in any traffic route grows larger; and
navigating the object using the routing values which only decrease or only increase irrespective of the traffic route being followed.
