Paragraph Number

37

"Orientation mode" refers to a mode of operation for a navigation apparatus, system, method, module, component, firmware, circuit, and/or software that identifies how navigational information, navigation data (e.g., a map data) is presented to a user. A number of orientation modes may exist depending on the means of transport being used, mode of transport being used, and other factors. Examples of orientation modes include but are not limited to heading up orientation mode, north up orientation mode, course up orientation mode, and the like. "Mode" refers to a state of operation for a circuit, sub-circuit, circuitry, electronic component, hardware, software, firmware, module, logic, device, button, lever, or apparatus. When a mode is activated the circuit, sub-circuit, circuitry, electronic component, hardware, software, firmware, module, logic, device, or apparatus may perform a set of functions that are different from when the mode is not activated. In certain embodiments, a mode may be represented by one or more states in a state machine. Often "mode" is used with a modifier describing and differentiating one mode or operating state from another, for example an "operating mode" relates to a mode of operation, a "calibration mode" relates to a mode of calibrating, a "distance mode" relates to distance operations, an "orientation mode" relates to navigational operations, and an "angle mode" relates to angles. "Orientation" refers to a direction a person or object is pointing or moving. Often an orientation is defined in relation to geographic compass direction, such as cardinal directions (e.g., North, South, East, West).
