METHOD FOR BINDING AN IRREGULAR MAP TO A KNOWN COORDINATE SYSTEM USING REFERENCE POINTS

摘要

The present invention describes a method for locating a user on an irregular map, such as for example on an outdoor map, slope map of a downhill skiing centre or other map having an irregular scale. In the method, points on the irregular map are bound as reference points by determining the actual location of the points. Then the location of the user on the map can be calculated on the base of the actual coordinates of the user' s location by utilizing the re ference points.
