tudinal coordinates of the respectively identified physical
centers which relate to the geographic centers of the claim or
other various points or landmarks or areas to be navigated based
on name along the path in which they are located. The external
member 26 is also shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 also shows other types of memories in which
information is located: population center memory 69; landmark
memory 71 and roadway or linear memory 73, in addition to the
path memory 77 and radius memory 75. These are discussed
beginning at the bottom of column 9. At least with respect to
the landmark memory 71 at column 10, lines 5-12, the claimed

respective identifiers such as parks or airports may comprise the
claimed geographic centers. Additionally, the discussion
beginning at column 5, line 35 indicates that the entire system
operates by retrieving various types of data from the various
memories and reading them into the temporary memory storage unit,
which is identified as the RAM memory storage chip 56 in Figure 3
and shown as well in the microcomputer unit in Figure 2. For
purposes of determining a given route within Person all data is
processed within this RAM memory. Thus, there is an additional
