Claims18
An in-vehicle computer system, comprising:
- an in-vehicle data receiver forming a part of a vehicle configured to receive a roadway map of an area proximate a current location of a first cell phone, as determined by the first cell phone, and a route from the current location to a destination based, at least in part, on an estimated roadway traffic condition, and
- an in-vehicle computer display forming a part of the vehicle configured to display the roadway map and the route,
- wherein the estimated roadway traffic condition is estimated based, at least in part, on data representative of a location of each of a plurality of other cell phones determined to be moving vehicles based, at least in part, on each of the plurality of other cell phones' calculated proximity to a roadway or calculated speed.
An in-vehicle computer system, comprising:
- an in-vehicle data receiver forming a part of a vehicle configured to receive a roadway map of an area proximate a current location and a route from the current location to a destination based on an estimated roadway traffic condition;
- and
- an in-vehicle computer display forming a part of the vehicle configured to display the roadway map and the route,
