Abstract
A method of generating navigation instructions for a vehicle is provided. A destination is requested at the vehicle and forwarded to a route generation application. At least one preliminary maneuver is calculated based on a current location of the vehicle and the destination. The preliminary maneuver is transmitted from the route generation application to the vehicle and is executed at the vehicle. Systems and programs for using the method are also provided.
Claims22
A method of remotely generating a series of navigation instructions for a vehicle, comprising:
- forwarding a destination request from the vehicle to a service manager, the service manager comprising a route generation application;
- calculating, at the remote route generation application, at least one preliminary maneuver based on a current location of the vehicle and the destination request;
- and
- transmitting the at least one preliminary maneuver from the route generation application to the vehicle via the service manager.
A navigation system comprising:
- a service manager;
- a remote route generation application in communication with the service manager for calculating at least one preliminary maneuver;
- a remote service provider in communication with the service manager for transmitting the at least one preliminary maneuver to a vehicle, wherein the vehicle executes the at least one preliminary maneuver upon receiving the preliminary maneuver from the remote service provider;
- at least one database in communication with the service manager, the database comprising location coordinates;
- and
- at least one navigation interface in communication with the vehicle, wherein the navigation interface receives the at least one preliminary maneuver from the remote service provider.
A computer usable medium including a program for generating a series of navigation instructions for a vehicle, comprising:
- computer program code that forwards a destination request from the vehicle to a service management system, the service management system comprising a route generation application;
- computer program code that calculates, at the remote route generation application, at least one preliminary maneuver based on a current location of the vehicle and the destination request;
- and
- computer program code that transmits the at least one preliminary maneuver from the route generation application to the vehicle via the service management system.
