A method of navigating including decoding a position-information code represented by a string of codes including the latitude and the longitude of a position entered via an input means into original information on the position including the latitude and the longitude of the position. Information created from the recovered original information resulting from the decoding of the position-information code and map data read out from a map-information storage unit are presented to the user by using a display means and a sound outputting means.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method of navigating including:storing map data within a navigation device;detecting a present position of a moving body relative to said map data;inputting into said navigation device a position-information code associated by a predetermined algorithm with encoded original position information of a desired location including but not limited to a latitude and a longitude of said desired location, the algorithm being dependent on a type of the original position information;decoding said position-information code to obtain said original position information; andpresenting a user with said original position information relative to said map data and said present position.
