Abstract
An electronic timepiece includes a memory for storing geographic data comprising a plurality of geographic locations and information pertaining to each of the locations. An input switch is used to select specific geometric data in a hierarchical manner for display. Previously-selected geographic data is separately stored so that simplified searching of the geographic data can be achieved. In one embodiment, geographic data is searched in a hierarchical manner from larger locations to smaller locations in response to sequential activation of the input switch. The geographic data comprises continents, countries, cities, and costal areas, and searching for data is performed in a hierarchical manner in response to sequential activation of the input switch so that respective continents are selected, followed by countries and then coastal areas in order to search for a specific coastal area.
