Abstract
The portable precision watch, additionally to time-keeping functions, also comprises a GPS receiver with antenna, evaluation electronics, a compass, a destination coordinate memory, an input element and a display element. With the evaluation electronics the coordinates of the location and the direction to the destination are computed and are made directly viewable as a vector display in the display element. Thus a very compact precision watch is provided which may be personally carried everywhere and worldwide, and directly displays the direction to any destination, in particular as a pocket watch or wrist watch.
