System and method for displaying address information on a map
First Claim
1. A method of displaying a map on a wireless communications device, the method comprising:
- receiving current position information representing a current position of the wireless communications device;
displaying the current position of the wireless communications device on the map;
determining address information corresponding to the current position of the wireless communications device; and
presenting the address information via a user interface of the device by displaying a street number on the map adjacent to the graphical current position indicator.

Abstract
A method of displaying a map on a wireless communications device includes steps of determining a current position of the wireless communications device, determining address information corresponding to the current position of the wireless communications device, and presenting the address information to a user of the device. The address information can be displayed onscreen as a pair of odd and even numbers representing the street addresses on each side of the street at the current position of the device. The street addresses can be determined by interpolating the address from an address range for the path segment along which the device is traveling. Alternatively, where specific addresses have been stored in association with coordinates, the closest address can be determined. This technology facilitates navigation by presenting street numbers corresponding to the real-time position of the device.
