Method and device for recording travel data

摘要

A travel recording device comprises means for receiving detected data relating to a current position of the vehicle, including the longitude and latitude of said current position, means for storing data selected from said detected data, and means for activating a storing operation by a driver for transferring data relating to a current position to said storing means. Preferably the travel recording device is applied in conjunction with a navigation device for route guidance based on GPS data. Furthermore, a method of recording travel data is proposed. Thus, it is possible to record passing points to be remembered (sightseeing spots and diverging points) by a simple operation while a vehicle is running, or to confirm later the actually traveled route without using map data.
