Method and apparatus for identifying objects

An optical apparatus for the optical detection of an object having identifying data stored in satellite-aided transmission systems, comprising:

• an optical fine focus;
• a first measuring device to detect distance to the object;
• a second measuring device to detect an angle of inclination between the apparatus and the object;
• a direction detector to detect the direction to the object;
• a positioning system to detect a location of the apparatus;
• a third measuring device to detect the altitude of the apparatus;
• a display;
• a receiver to receive wireless signals;
• and
• a computer to process location data to determine identification data of the object coupled to the first measuring device, the second measuring device, the third measuring device, the positioning system, the receiver, the direction detector and the display;
• wherein the location data is selected from the group consisting of:
• distance, angle of inclination, wireless signals, location of the apparatus, direction, altitude and combinations thereof;
• and
• identification data for the object appears on the display.
