Abstract:
A wireless location and direction indicator system comprising:at least one antenna;a BLUETOOTH system configured to receive via the at least one antenna, location data associated with a remote indicator system and generate received signal strength data as a function of azimuth therefrom;a Northfinder device; anda cellular communication radio comprising:a data processor;a data input device in communication with the data processor;an algorithmic software directing the data processor; anda data storage unit, wherein identification data and location data associated with a remote location and direction indicator system and received by the at least one antenna and Northfinder data generated by the Northfinder device is stored and supplied to the data processor such that the data processor, directed by the algorithmic software, can automatically derive relative distance data and relative direction data for a remote indicator system with respect to the indicator system using algorithmically defined relationships associated with the identification data, location data and Northfinder data.
