                   Appeal No. 2006-1373                                                                                           
                   Application No. 09/814,054                                                                                     
                   in the discussion of claim 51. Consequently, we agree with Appellant that the combination                      
                   of Asano, Ohmura and Kubon fails to teach the claimed limitation of displaying only the                        
                   present position of the vehicle and the selected destination without showing any routing                       
                   path interconnecting them.                                                                                     
                          It is our view, after consideration of the record before us, that the evidence relied                   
                   upon and the level of skill in the particular art would have not suggested to one of ordinary                  
                   skill in the art the invention as set forth in claims 53, 54 and 66.  Accordingly, we will not                 
                   sustain the Examiner’s rejection of claims 53, 54 and 66.                                                      
                                                             CONCLUSION                                                           
                          In view of the foregoing discussion, we have not sustained the Examiner’s decision                      
                   rejecting claims 51-68 under 35 USC 103.  Therefore, we reverse.                                               
                                                              REVERSED
