Abstract: Certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide a method of guiding a traveler, comprising the activities of: obtaining a route from a first approach to a destination; selecting a sequential set of way points along said route, said sequential set of way points chosen to assist a traveler in following said route; capturing a visual image of each way point from said sequential set of way points to form a set of visual images; arranging said set of visual images into a static viewable sequential order; and in response to a user's selection of said first approach from a predetermined set of approaches to said destination, providing said set of visual images to said user.

Abstract: A method and system for visual addressing provides highly intuitive means for guiding travelers between predetermined starting points and destinations using largely photographic techniques. In a baseline point-to-point embodiment, photographs are produced of way points determined to provide preferred and alternate routes to guide a traveler, and are provided in pictograph form. In an advanced regional embodiment, a large number of photographs are produced of way points sufficient in number and location to enable the determining of routes within a bounded region between any one of a plurality of starting points and any one of a plurality of destinations. A traveler or end user needing travel guidance may access either hard copy photographs in pictograph form or a city booklet form, or alternately access fully equivalent information in digital form which may be delivered via digital networks for reconstitution into pictographs or city booklets.
