Abstract
A method of and mobile station for route guidance for a user including a processor and a directional indicator which provides a reference direction, with the mobile station connecting to an on-line service with an electronic database containing geographic information and mobile position. Local position and destination is transmitted to the on-line service to request route guidance data. The on-line service processes the data as a function of branching of a total route to the user's destination as route sections and transmits a specification of direction and destination name for each route section destination to the mobile station. The processor processes the specification of direction and reference direction to define a target direction of a current route section destination and displays the target direction and route guidance data of the current route section destination and guidance data of at least one upcoming stage of the route.
