Abstract
An electronic navigational route developer may accept user input regarding the user's boat, such as height, draft and beam, and develop a route from a start point to end point based on cartographic information and the boat information.
Claims44
An electronic navigational router, comprising:
- an electronic navigational automatic route developer;
- a user interface;
- and
- electronic route storage to store route data related to a route developed by the electronic route developer.
An electronic navigational router, comprising:
- an electronic route developer;
- and
- a user interface to accept user input regarding the end point of a route, wherein the electronic route developer is configured to automatically develop a route based upon the user-supplied start end point and the route includes at least one intervening waypoint when the end point and a start point are not points of navigable visibility to one another.
An electronic navigational router, comprising:
- a smartphone-based automatic electronic route developer;
- and
- a user interface to accept user input regarding characteristics of a boat for which a route is to be developed, wherein the electronic route developer is configured to automatically develop a navigational route based on the input regarding the boat's characteristics.
An electronic navigational router, comprising:
- an automatic electronic navigational route developer;
- and
- a user interface to accept user input regarding a navigational route and to respond to user input by editing a route.
An electronic navigational router, comprising:
- an automatic electronic navigational route developer;
- and
- a user interface to accept user input to allow a user to set a start point for the route to be developed at a location other than the current location of the electronic navigational route developer.
An electronic navigational router, comprising:
- an automatic electronic navigational route developer;
- a manual electronic navigational route developer;
- and
- a user interface to accept user input to allow a user to select either the automatic or manual electronic route developer to develop a navigational route.
An electronic navigational router, comprising:
- an electronic navigational automatic route developer;
- a user interface;
- and
- electronic route storage to store route data related to a route developed by the electronic route developer, wherein the automatic route developer incorporates tidal information in the development of a route.
A method for performing navigational routing, comprising:
- providing an electronic navigational automatic route developer;
- providing a user interface;
- and
- storing route data related to a route developed by the electronic route developer at an electronic route storage.
A method for performing navigational routing, comprising:
- providing an electronic route developer;
- and
- accepting user input regarding the end point of a route at a user interface, wherein the electronic route developer is configured to automatically develop a route based upon the user-supplied start end point and the route includes at least one intervening waypoint when the end point and a start point are not points of navigable visibility to one another.
A method for performing navigational routing, comprising:
- providing a smartphone-based automatic electronic route developer;
- and
- accepting user input regarding characteristics of a boat for which a route is to be developed at a user interface, wherein the electronic route developer is configured to automatically develop a navigational route based on the input regarding the boat's characteristics.
A method for performing navigational routing, comprising:
- providing an automatic electronic navigational route developer;
- and
- accepting user input regarding a navigational route at a user interface and responding to user input by editing a route.
A method for performing navigational routing, comprising:
- providing an automatic electronic navigational route developer;
- and
- accepting, at a user interface, user input to allow a user to set a start point for the route to be developed at a location other than the current location of the electronic navigational route developer.
A method for performing navigational routing, comprising:
- providing an automatic electronic navigational route developer;
- providing a manual electronic navigational route developer;
- and
- accepting, at a user interface, user input to allow a user to select either the automatic or manual electronic route developer to develop a navigational route.
A method for performing navigational routing, comprising:
- providing an electronic navigational automatic route developer;
- providing a user interface;
- and
- storing route data related to a route developed by the electronic route developer at an electronic route storage, wherein the automatic route developer incorporates tidal information in the development of a route.
