ABSTRACT:
A Ghebleh bearing indicator apparatus for providing a user with a displayed indication of the relative bearing between his current position and a destination, such as Mecca, includes a keyboard and display. A microprocessor processes selected stored latitude/longitude information for one of a plurality of cities along with information from an included electronic digital compass to calculate and display the bearing to Mecca on a compass rose. The apparatus includes a preprogrammed list of up to eight cities which, in one operational mode, allows an unsophisticated user to select a location merely by pressing a single key on the keyboard. In a second mode, a plurality of countries and associated cities is scrolled on the screen to permit highlighting and selection by the user.
