Abstract: A navigation system for portable communications devices may comprise computer programs for providing a geographical context for display in the portable device. The portable device periodically interacts with at least one of a telecommunications network and a GPS network to update an information portal with current location information. The navigation system includes displaying information on the portable communications device representative of a change in location of the mobile telephone device or a change in location of another tracked device. The information representative of the change in location can be overlaid on the geographical context and both displayed in the mobile telephone device. The combined geographical context and specific location data is scaled to fit a display on a portable communications device. Other embodiments provide means for obtaining information representative of a location of some object or of another object for display in the mobile telephone device.

Abstract translation: 用于便携式通信设备的导航系统可以包括用于提供用于在便携式设备中显示的地理上下文的计算机程序。 便携式设备周期性地与电信网络和GPS网络中的至少一个进行交互，以利用当前位置信息更新信息门户。 该导航系统包括在便携式通信设备上显示代表移动电话设备的位置变化的信息或另一被跟踪设备的位置变化。 代表位置变化的信息可以覆盖在地理环境上并且都显示在移动电话设备中。 组合的地理位置和特定位置数据被缩放以适合便携式通信设备上的显示。 其他实施例提供了用于获得表示一些物体的位置的信息或用于在移动电话设备中显示的另一物体的信息的装置。
