Claim 19:
20. Apparatus for determining a position relative to multiple reference transceivers, the apparatus comprising:
a. an antenna configured to communicate with a first reference transceiver and a second reference transceiver;
b. a receiver in logical communication with the antenna;
c. a transmitter also in logical communication with the antenna;
d. a digital storage storing software executable upon demand; and
e. a processor in logical communication with the digital storage, the processor operative via execution of the software to cause the apparatus to:
i. with the receiver, receive a first digital communication from the first reference transceiver, the first digital communication comprising data useful in determining a respective distance of the first reference transceiver from the apparatus;
ii. referencing the first digital communication, generate a distance between the apparatus and the first reference transceiver;
iii. with the receiver, receive a second digital communication from the second reference transceiver, the second digital communication comprising data useful in determining a distance of the second reference transceiver from the apparatus;
iv. based upon the second digital communication, generate the distance of the second reference transceiver from the apparatus;
v. generate a first curve representing the distance between the apparatus and the first reference transceiver;
vi. generate a second curve representing the distance between the apparatus and the second reference transceiver;
vii. displaying a user interface on a visual display, the user interface comprising a symbol indicating a direction of the first reference transceiver; and
viii. displaying on the user interface the distance between the apparatus and the first reference transceiver.
