Patent ID: 7953552

Claim:
A GPS Navigation Code System comprising: (a) a GPS navigation device having a display monitor, a memory, a processor, a software generated or hardware data entry keyboard, a sound input, a sound output and a special key for activating an address search; (b) said GPS navigation device being programmable by a user, using said software generated or hardware data entry keyboard to record various addresses and points of interest in said memory; (c) said GPS navigation device being able to allow said user to assign and store in said memory a reference code to each of the programmed addresses and points of interest, said reference code being a few keystrokes; (d) said GPS navigation device being able to allow said user to record in said memory a unique speech pattern of sounds to correspond with each of the reference codes; (e) said GPS navigation device being able to store and link said addresses, points of interest, reference codes and speech patterns in three linked separate databases stored in said memory; (f) said address is retrieved by either entering said reference code or by speaking said corresponding speech pattern of sounds after activating address search mode by pressing said special key; (g) said GPS navigation device being able to allow the user to press the special key to thereby set the device in address search mode, whereupon a desired address is retrieved from the stored database and displayed on the monitor when the user enters the corresponding reference code into the GPS navigation device on said software generated or hardware data entry keyboard, or alternatively said desired address may be retrieved from the stored database and displayed on the monitor when the user speaks the previously assigned speech pattern of sounds; (h) the GPS navigation device being able to allow said user to accept the address displayed on said monitor by pressing the special key, thereby simultaneously canceling the address search mode of said GPS navigation device; and (i) said GPS navigation device being able to calculate the route to the desired address and display the route on the display as well as provide voice generated guidance, whereby the user after pressing the special key on the GPS navigator device spends a shorter time entering the reference code or speaking the previously assigned speech pattern when retrieving the destination address.
