“Building on the power and accuracy of global positioning
satellites (GPS) and other location technologies, a superior
navigation system has been developed specifically for the Internet
and portable devices.”

“Go2 Systems Inc. Wednesday announced its World Geographic
Reference System(TM) (WGRS), technology that provides the
foundation for Go2(TM), the first global addressing and locator
system designed to bring real-world navigation into the digital
age….”

Go2 has been issued a U.S. patent on WGRS and foreign
patents are pending. Certain portions of WGRS will be available for
open source licensing, allowing universal acceptance without
sacrificing efficiency or structure of the consumer navigation
system.
