Description

Navigation method and navigation device combined with water and land transportation

The present invention relates to a navigation method, and more particularly to a navigation method combining water and land transportation and a navigation device using the same.

The existing GPS navigation systems only navigate the roads on land, and do not consider the navigation method across the waterways. Therefore, when the destination of the navigation needs to cross the river, sea or lake, the navigation system cannot provide the navigation route planning. . Therefore, when the user's travel route needs to pass through the river, sea or lake, they have to check the boat class they can take, and whether the boat can carry the carrier, bicycle, locomotive or car, etc., and take the boat at that location. Therefore, the existing GPS navigation system still lacks the function and convenience of land and water transportation navigation.

Therefore, if the navigation system can combine the water and land transportation information and increase the route planning of the water and land transportation, it will be able to provide users with more navigation options and make the destination that could not be planned by crossing the waterway into a destination that can be planned.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a navigation method capable of planning a navigation route across land and water, and a method for applying the same. Navigation device for the law.

Therefore, when the processing unit 14 receives the departure place and the destination input by the input unit 12, the processing unit 14 first determines whether it is necessary to pass the waterway between the departure place and the destination, as in step S2 of FIG. If there is no, then, as described above, step S3 is performed, and the processing unit 14 plans a navigation route according to the departure place, the destination and the transportation mode, and the geographic map stored by the storage unit 11, and the user determines to start. After the navigation, the process proceeds to step S4, and the navigation is performed based on the navigation route, the geographic map stored by the storage unit 11, and the GPS signal received by the GPS receiver 10, and the navigation map is displayed on the display unit 13.

If the result of the determination in step S2 is YES, then step S5 is performed, and the processing unit 14 plans to combine the land and water according to the input traffic mode and the geographic map stored by the storage unit 11 and the recorded boat class and its shipping route. Navigation route for transportation.

Wherein, when the transportation mode is a bicycle, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the navigation route planned by the processing unit 14 will include a bicycle from the departure place, such as the Songshan Wenchuang Park of Taipei City, to the A1 boating place, such as fresh water. The first navigation route of the terminal, and the X1 departure boat trip to the A2 disembarkation location, such as the Bali Ferry Terminal, and the second navigation route from the A2 disembarkation location (Bali Pier) to the destination, such as the Thirteen Line Museum; The traffic The mode is a locomotive. As shown in FIG. 1 , the navigation route planned by the processing unit 14 will include the locomotive from the departure place, such as the Kaohsiung clarification lake to the B1 boarding point, such as the first navigation route of the Gushan dock, and the X2 departure. The boat class to the B2 disembarkation site, such as the Cijin Wharf, and the second navigation route from the B2 disembarkation site (Chejin Terminal) to the destination, such as the flagship lighthouse; when the mode of transportation is a car, the processing unit 14 plans The navigation route will include the car from the departure point, such as Taichung Daya District to the C1 boating location, such as the first navigation route of Kaohsiung Gushan Ferry Terminal, and the X3 shift boat trip to the C2 disembarkation site, such as the Penghu Magong Pier, and From the C2 disembarkation location (Wuhu Magong Wharf) to the destination, such as the second navigation route of Huxi Township XX B&B; similarly, when the transportation mode is walking, the navigation route planned by the processing unit 14 will include from the departure place. Walk to the first navigation route of the D1 boating place, and take the X4 shift boat trip to the D2 disembarkation location, and the second navigation route to the destination by the D2 disembarkation location . And when the above four modes of transportation are the same and the destinations are the same, the first navigation route and the second navigation route may be the same or different, and the above-mentioned A1 boating place, B1 boating place, and C1 boarding The location and the D1 boating location may be the same location or different locations. The A2 disembarkation location, the B2 disembarkation location, the C2 disembarkation location, and the D2 disembarkation location may be the same location or different locations. X1, X2, X3, and X4 may be Same shift or different shifts. In addition, it is worth mentioning that if the navigation destination is the above-mentioned A2 disembarkation location, B2 disembarkation location, C2 disembarkation location or D2 disembarkation location, the second navigation route will not be generated.

Thereby, the navigation device 1 of the embodiment can be used for the need The destination of the waterway and the mode of transportation, planning navigation routes suitable for different modes of transportation combined with land and water transportation, and providing users with more complete and convenient navigation services.

Then, after the user initiates navigation through the input unit 12 of the navigation device 1, the processing unit 14 will navigate according to the navigation route, the geographic map stored by the storage unit 11, and the GPS signal received by the GPS receiver 10, and Step S6 of 1, after the navigation starts, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, according to the first navigation route, first navigate from the departure place to the boating place, and notify the user of the boat class to be boarded by display or voice, and arrive at the boat. After the disembarkation location, according to the second navigation route, the disembarkation location is navigated to the destination.

In summary, the above embodiment is determined by the navigation device 1 according to the departure place and the destination input by the user, when it is determined that the water route needs to be passed to the destination, and then according to the transportation mode selected by the user, and the navigation device 1 is pre-stored. The geography map and the waterway shipping flights and navigation routes, planning a navigation route combined with land and water transportation, allowing users to follow the navigation route, can smoothly reach the destination via the waterway, and indeed achieve the efficacy and purpose of the present invention.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the patent application scope and patent specification content of the present invention, All remain within the scope of the invention patent.
