Abstract
A navigation device and method provide a route to a destination. The navigation device includes a processor configured to receive a starting location at a navigation device associated with a user and receive a destination location at the navigation device. The navigation device also includes a display including a user interface configured to display one or more routes from the starting location to the destination location with an indication of a charging metric of each of the one or more routes.
Claims29
A navigation device for providing a route to a destination, the navigation device comprising:
- a memory;
- a user interface;
- a wireless transceiver;
- a satellite positioning system (SPS) receiver;
- and
- a processor, coupled to the memory, the user interface, the wireless transceiver and the SPS receiver, configured to:
- determine, using the SPS receiver, a starting location;
- receive, via the user interface, a destination location and a route selection criteria, wherein the route selection criteria comprise a charging metric, distance, or time to arrival or a combination thereof;
- send to a route management server, using the wireless transceiver, the starting location, the destination location and the route selection criteria;
- receive, using the wireless transceiver, at least two routes, wherein the at least two routes are based at least in part upon the route selection criteria and comprise a route prioritizing the charging metric and a route prioritizing the time to arrival;
- and
- display, on the user interface, the at least two routes and an associated time to arrival and an associated charging metric for each route.
A method of providing a route to a destination on a navigation device, the method comprising:
- determining, using a satellite positioning system (SPS) receiver, a starting location;
- receiving a destination location and a route selection criteria, wherein the route selection criteria comprise a charging metric, distance, or time to arrival or a combination thereof;
- sending, to a route management server, the starting location, the destination location, and the route selection criteria;
- receiving at least two routes, wherein the at least two routes are based at least in part upon the route selection criteria and comprise a route prioritizing the charging metric and a route prioritizing the time to arrival;
- and
- displaying the at least two routes and an associated time to arrival and an associated charging metric for each route.
A navigation device for providing a route to a destination, the navigation device comprising:
- means for determining a starting location;
- means for receiving a destination location and a route selection criteria, wherein the route selection criteria comprise a charging metric, distance, or time to arrival or a combination thereof;
- means for sending, to a route management server, the starting location, the destination location, and the route selection criteria;
- means for receiving at least two routes, wherein the at least two routes are based at least in part upon the route selection criteria and comprise a route prioritizing the charging metric and a route prioritizing the time to arrival;
- and
- means for displaying, the at least two routes and an associated time to arrival and an associated charging metric for each route.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- determine, using a satellite positioning system (SPS) receiver, a starting location;
- receive a destination location and a route selection criteria, wherein the route selection criteria comprise a charging metric, distance, or time to arrival or a combination thereof;
- send to a route management server, using the wireless transceiver, the starting location, the destination location and the route selection criteria;
- receive, using a wireless transceiver, at least two routes, wherein the at least two routes are based at least in part upon the route selection criteria and comprise a route prioritizing the charging metric and a route prioritizing the time to arrival;
- and
- display the at least two routes and an associated time to arrival and an associated charging metric for each route.
