Navigation device and method for display of position in text readable form
First Claim
1. A method performed by a navigation device, comprising:
- receiving a request for display of a location of the navigation device;
determining at least one of a last known and a current location of the navigation device;
determining the location of at least one element of stored map information associated with the determined location of the navigation device;
comparing the determined location of the navigation device to the location of said at least one element and converting the determined location of the navigation device into a text readable form; and
displaying the text readable form of the determined location of the navigation device on a display of the navigation device;
wherein the text readable form indicates the location of the navigation device relative to the location of said at least one element.

Abstract
A method and device are disclosed for navigation. In at least one embodiment, the method includes receiving a request for display of a location of a navigation device; determining at least one of a last known and a current GPS location of the navigation device; comparing the determined GPS location to stored map information and converting the determined GPS location into a text readable form; and displaying the text readable form of the determined GPS location on an integrated input and display of the navigation device. In at least one embodiment, the navigation device includes a processor to receive a request for display of a location of a navigation device, to determine at least one of a last known and a current GPS location of the navigation device, to compare the determined GPS location to stored map information and to convert the determined GPS location into a text readable form; and an integrated input and display device to display the text readable form of the determined GPS location.
