Abstract
A personal navigation device and method are disclosed. The device and method make use of an integrated electronic compass to simplify data transfer to the user thereby simplifying the navigation process. In use, data provided by the electronic compass is used to orient a displayed map relative to the orientation of the personal navigation device. Alternatively, the data provided by the electronic compass is used to rotate an icon indicative of the position of the user in which the icon rotates in response to a change of orientation of the user. In a simplified device, the electronic compass data is used to indicate the direction and displacement of a series of predetermined waypoints relative to the current position of the personal navigation device.
