1. A method of operating a computer, comprising the steps of:
- a) displaying a geographic representation including within a plurality of geographic location coordinates;
b) selecting a first one of said plurality of geographic location coordinates within said geographic representation to establish a first geographic coordinate location in said geographic representation;
c) displaying a first image separate from said geographic representation which provides visual destination information viewed from said first geographic coordinate location established within said geographic representation, said visual destination information viewed from said first geographic coordinate location including a first plurality of destination location coordinates;
d) selecting one of said first plurality of destination location coordinates within said visual destination information viewed from said first geographic coordinate location to identify a first destination location;
e. matching said first one of said plurality of destination location coordinates with a second one of said plurality of geographic location coordinates to establish a second geographic coordinate location within said geographic representation, said second geographic coordinate location identifying within said geographic representation location of said first destination location selected within said visual destination information of said first image;
f. displaying a second image separate from said geographic representation which provides visual destination information viewed from said second geographic coordinate location established within said geographic representation, said visual destination information viewed from said second geographic coordinate location including a second plurality of destination location coordinates each selectable to identify a second destination location, said destination location coordinates matchable to a third one of said geographic location coordinates to establish a third geographic coordinate location within said geographic representation identifying within said geographic representation location of said second destination location selected within said visual destination information of said second image, thereby allowing serial navigation of a plurality of images in relation to said geographic representation.

Abstract
A system for navigating images spatially referenced to a plurality of location coordinates from at least one coordinate location within a computed space provides travel with a non-linear itinerary. Specifically, serial navigation of a plurality of geographic images spatially referenced to location coordinates of a geo-planar space from a selected coordinate location within each prior geographic image.
