ABSTRACT:
A computerized telecommunications system is provided whereby a user, such as a traveler, may program a navigational course and then receive dynamically modified audio and visual feedback regarding a present navigational status position while proceeding through the programmed navigational course. The system receives a satellite transmitted signal which represents a predetermined static position along a navigational route. When the traveler coincides with a static position en route, the system utilizes this transmitted signal to dynamically modify and thereby update the previous navigational status position that was stored prior to receiving the current transmitted signal. This dynamically modified navigational status position is then transmitted to the traveler either audibly, or with an electronic visual marker (thereby permitting determination of present navigational status position with merely a quick glance), or both, to keep the traveler updated on his or her present navigational status position without requiring the traveler to concentrate on locating his or her navigational status position as with a conventional map.
