US 11,982,536 B2 · Configurable routes

Abstract

An example configurable route based on a distance input causing a device to access location relevant cartographic data and present the location relevant cartographic data on a display on the device. The instructions are executable to receive a plurality of input selections to the location relevant cartographic data, convert the plurality of input selections to a plurality of coordinates, receive a distance input and deliver the plurality of coordinates and the distance input to a routing algorithm, and to receive a route generated therefrom that begins at a starting location and ends at the starting location and has a length substantially equal to the distance input.

Dependent claims

A portable electronic device for providing a configurable route, comprising:

a global positioning system (GPS) receiver to track the portable electronic device;
a processor;
a memory in communication with the processor;
a display to display location relevant cartographic data;
and
program instructions storable in memory and executable by the processor to:
receive an input for a starting location;
receive an input for a distance;
receive a set of route criteria;
cause a search of a plurality of regions of cartographic data in different bounded searchable directions, beginning at the starting location and ending at the starting location and based on the received distance input, in order to:
select points from sets of points within a given bounded searchable direction that match the received set of route criteria;
and
provide the selected points as coordinates to a routing algorithm to cause the routing algorithm to generate a route that:
is based on the received distance;
begins and ends at the starting location;
and
incorporates a plurality of the selected points.
