Description
[technical field]
The present invention is about a kind of technical field of guider, a kind of especially guider of tool area marks and area marks method.
[background technology]
At present on many roads, as places such as highway, provincial highway, intersection or hill paths, user be seen everywhere various area marks and cardinal direction marker thereof are as " ↑ Taibei city ", " → peach garden ", " in ← Pu ", " Alishan
", " Kun Ding
" ... etc., allow the user know and be about to arrive the correct direction that the next one is regional or go to the destination, do not note going to the wrong way road because of being unfamiliar with road or for the moment to avoid the user, waste many quality time.
In addition, on the Hard copy map, the user also can often see similar above-mentioned area marks and cardinal direction marker thereof, as " ← Taichung " or " peace
" etc.; because the cartographic information that every Hard copy map usually can only the display part; and can't represent complete map overall picture; be available for users to understand next area by area marks; and cardinal direction marker can allow the clear direction of advancing of user; and particularly in hill path, fork in the road or the unfamiliar place of complexity, user's importance is not sayed especially and can be explained.
Although area marks and cardinal direction marker thereof have many help to the user, but only be arranged on the road at present or be drawn in the Hard copy map, the market of present stage or product do not provide relevant technology, area marks is located on the electronic chart of guider, driving or going in the process of destination, can know the correct direction of leading to the destination in order to the user at any time.To this, how area marks and arm for direction indicator thereof are arranged on the electronic chart of guider, also just become the problem that many users quite are concerned about.
In view of this, for solving the shortcoming of prior art, to satisfy the demand of user to guider, the inventor is based on going in for the study for many years and many practical experience, through research and design and special topic are inquired in many ways, in the present invention a kind of guider and method thereof of tool area marks are proposed, with implementation and basis as aforementioned expectation.
[summary of the invention]
Therefore, purpose of the present invention provides a kind of guider and method thereof of tool area marks, area marks and cardinal direction marker thereof particularly are set on the electronic chart of guider, to satisfy the demand of user, solve the shortcoming of prior art simultaneously, except that the next area that can allow the user know to be about to advance to guider, also can know that identification goes to the correct direction of destination, can also send information of voice prompt, and then avoid the user to open wrong road, and arrive the destination fast.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention proposes a kind of guider of tool area marks, and it comprises a map data base, a navigation module, a location module and a display interface.Wherein, this map data base is stored to a few electronic chart, and electronic chart has several map blocks.Navigation module connects map data base, and providing a guidance path in these a little map blocks wherein one of at least, and guidance path has a starting point, several area marks and a destination, and these a little area marks are arranged to the destination in regular turn from the starting point.And locating module provides at least one position location.Display interface connects map data base, navigation module and locating module in addition, with the map block that is positioned at according to show navigator path, position location one of them, and show that next area marks is on shown map block, and next area marks is positioned on the end points of the shown guidance path of display interface, toward a direction of destination.
Moreover the present invention also proposes a kind of area marks method, and it comprises the following step:
(a) provide a guider, it comprises a map data base, a navigation module, a location module and a display interface, and map data base stores at least one electronic chart, and electronic chart has several map blocks.
(b) provide a guidance path in these a little map blocks wherein one of at least with navigation module, and guidance path has a starting point, several area marks and a destination, these a little area marks are arranged to the destination in regular turn from the starting point.
(c) provide at least one position location with locating module.
(d) make map block that display interface is positioned at according to show navigator path, position location one of them.
(e) make display interface show next area marks on shown map block, and next area marks is positioned on the end points of shown guidance path a direction of past destination according to the position location.
Compared to prior art, utilize the present invention, except that the next area that can allow the user know to be about to advance, also can know that identification goes to the correct direction of destination, can also send information of voice prompt, and then avoid the user to open wrong road, and arrive the destination fast.
For purpose of the present invention, structural attitude and function thereof are had further understanding, conjunction with figs. is described in detail as follows now:
