summary Given a planar straight line graph G with n vertices and a point PO, locating PO means to find the region of the planar subdivision induced by G which contains PO. Recently, Lipton and Tarjan presented a brilliant but extremely complex point location algorithm which runs in time O(log n) on a data structure using O(n) storage. This paper presents a practical algorithm which runs in less than O(log 2n) comparisons on a data structure which uses O(n log n) storage, in the worst case. The method rests crucially on a simple partition of each edge of G into O(log n) segments
