Abstract

The apparatus has a position determining module (6) e.g. GPS, with an antenna (7) to generate longitude, latitude and altitude data. An electronic compass module (8) and an electronic inclinometer module (9) respectively generate data of orientation and of inclination with respect to magnetic north and horizontal. A memory module contains digitized three dimensional (3D) geographical cartography data to be displayed on a LCD screen (3).
