METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GENERATING GEOGRAPHIC COORDINATES

A method () for generating a geographic coordinate and a device () for generating a geographic coordinate. The method () comprises: enabling a device to point to a position point (); obtaining data including a geographic coordinate of the device, a relative height between the device and the position point and pointing information of the device (); and generating a geographic coordinate of the position point based on the data (). The device () for generating a geographic coordinate comprises a pointing module (), a data obtaining module () and a generating module (). By enabling the device to point to a desired position point, a geographic coordinate of the desired position point can be obtained rapidly.
