Abstract
An electronic timepiece includes an indicating hand, a distance display hand, a GPS receiver that receives satellite signals transmitted from GPS satellites, a magnetic sensor, and a controller. The controller determines the direction to a destination on the basis of the satellite signals received by the GPS receiver, the output from the magnetic sensor, and destination information representing the position of the destination, determines the distance to the destination on the basis of the satellite signals and the destination information, causes the indicating hand to indicate the direction to the destination, and causes the distance display hand to display the distance to the destination.
Claims13
An electronic timepiece comprising:
- a first indicating hand;
- a second indicating hand;
- a receiver that receives position identification information for identifying a current position;
- a magnetic sensor;
- and
- a controller that determines a direction to a destination based on the position identification information received by the receiver, an output from the magnetic sensor, and destination information representing a position of the destination and determines a distance to the destination based on the position identification information and the destination information,
- wherein the first indicating hand indicates the direction to the destination, and the second indicating hand displays the distance to the destination.
An electronic timepiece comprising:
- a first indicating hand;
- a second indicating hand;
- a receiver that receives position identification information for identifying a current position;
- a magnetic sensor;
- and
- a controller that determines a direction to a destination based on the position identification information received by the receiver, an output from the magnetic sensor, and destination information representing a position of the destination and determines a direction to north based on the output from the magnetic sensor,
- wherein the first indicating hand indicates the direction to the destination, and the second indicating hand indicates the direction to north.
An electronic timepiece comprising:
- an indicating hand;
- a receiver that receives position identification information for identifying a current position;
- a magnetic sensor;
- and
- a controller that determines a direction to a destination based on the position identification information received by the receiver, an output from the magnetic sensor, and destination information representing a position of the destination and determines a direction to north based on the output from the magnetic sensor,
- wherein the direction indicated with the indicating hand is switched between the direction to the destination and the direction to north.
