摘要： The system and method may provide directions to the user of an electronic signal such as a radio or television broadcast. The directions guide the user from a current location to a destination associated with the electronic signal by accessing an address embedded within, or transmitted in conjunction with, the electronic signal. The address provides an indication to an online information provider an/or a database within which a listing of locations for a destination are provided. By comparing the various locations of the destination against the current location of the user, determined using Global Positioning System (GPS) data, the system is able to determine which location of the destination is closest and to provide appropriate directions. Maps and various other directional tools, including verbal directions and visual directions, may be generated. Reverse directions may also be generated from a destination to other predetermined way-points such as home, office or starting point.

摘要翻译： 系统和方法可以向诸如无线电或电视广播的电子信号的用户提供指示。 方向通过访问嵌入在电子信号内或与电子信号一起发送的地址，将用户从当前位置引导到与电子信号相关联的目的地。 该地址向在线信息提供者提供指示，其中提供了目的地的位置列表。 通过使用全球定位系统（GPS）数据确定目的地的各个位置与用户的当前位置进行比较，系统能够确定目的地的哪个位置是最接近的并且提供适当的方向。 可能会生成地图和各种其他定向工具，包括语言方向和视觉方向。 还可以从目的地到其他预定路线点（例如家庭，办公室或起点）产生反向。
