Background information
Pulsar grid in V'ger databanks, copied from the Pioneer 10 plaque
While never pointed out as such, a map showing the location of Earth using this method was included on the Pioneer 10 probe, seen in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, and the same plaque was also in the memory banks of V'ger.
