When the position of the portable device () corresponds to the position data defined in an action, said action is activated. In the method, the information about actions is processed in a server (), from which a data transmission connection can be set up to the device, in which the action data is transmitted from the server (), to be activated.

Method and a system for presenting reminders in a portable device

The present invention relates to a method for storing position data, in particular for use in a navigation and/or road information service system. In order to simplify considerably the storage of position data, in particular for entering position data for setting up an electronically stored address book, the invention provides that the current position is detected with the aid of a position-finding system, the current position is allocated a title, and the current position is stored with the allocated title such that the stored position can be selected with the aid of the associated title.

Method for storing position data in particular for use in a navigation and/or road information service system

The invention relates to a navigation method, in particular for vehicles, in which a route (R) from a starting point (z,) to a destination (z,) is determined and stored, in which the current position (z(t)) is determined, and in which direction information corresponding to the route (R) is indicated. In order to allow the user to be guided to his destination, if he leaves the route, without using map material, the invention provides for a direction which leads back to the route to be indicated, if the current position is not on the route.
