Path calculation method based on location information

Abstract

A path calculation method based on location information is provided. The method is applied to a navigation device. In this method, the navigation device obtains information of a location transmitted by an electronic device. The location information is a text information or a picture. The navigation device obtains information of a coordinate contained in the location information, a starting road name to which its own location belongs and a corresponding starting point, as well as a navigation road name to which the coordinate information belongs and a corresponding navigation point. The navigation device then calculates a best navigation path according to the above information through a global positioning system (GPS). By this method, the navigation device may perform navigation path planning or calculation upon reading the location information, so as to shorten time for a user to input text and coordinates.
