1. A method of delivery comprising:
- a. providing a global positioning system wherein the global positioning system comprises a global positioning system receiver and a display screen;
b. displaying a route image on the display screen wherein the route image is representative of an physical route;
c. displaying an indicated position on the display screen wherein the indicated position is representative of a actual position on the physical route;
d. displaying a first delivery point representation on the display screen wherein the first delivery point representation is representative of an first physical delivery point along the physical route;
e. displaying a landmark representation on the display screen wherein the landmark representation is representative of a physical landmark;
f. observing the physical relationship between a actual position and the physical landmark;
g. observing a represented relationship between the indicated position and the landmark representation;
h. recognizing a difference between the physical relationship and the represented relationship;
i. providing a manual input to the global positioning system that is proportional to the magnitude of the difference wherein the manual input causes a perceived motion selected frommovement of the route image relative to the indicated position andmovement of the indicated position relative to the route image,
and the perceived motion substantially eliminates the difference;
j. delivering a first item to the first physical delivery point when the indicated position is adjacent to the first delivery point representation on the display screen.
