1. A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to unlock a vehicle via a cellular connection;
a locating device configured to determine a waypoint;
a processor configured to provide data to guide a user from a current location to the waypoint, wherein the data comprises at least one of a direction from the current location to the waypoint, a distance from the current location to the waypoint, and an elevation direction from the current location to the waypoint; and
a display configured to present the data to the user, whereinthe locating device is configured to track a distance and a direction of a plurality of traversed paths of the portable electronic device relative to the waypoint,the processor is configured to process the plurality of traversed paths, and reconstruct a return path back to the waypoint, andthe display is configured to display at least one of a pointer indicating a direction from a current one of the plurality of traversed paths to the waypoint, a waypoint indicator indicating a distance from the current one of the plurality of traversed paths to the waypoint and a set of arrows indicating an elevation direction from the current one of the plurality of traversed paths to the waypoint.

Abstract
A portable transceiver for locking and locating an automobile, includes a remote keyless entry system for locking the automobile; a locating device determining a location of the transceiver, wherein the remote keyless entry system and the locating device are housed in a pocket sized housing; and a processor deriving directional information from a current location to a waypoint, wherein in response to an activation of the remote keyless entry system, the locating device determines the waypoint corresponding substantially to that of the automobile.
