20080215238 | Navigation device and method for issuing warnings - A method and device are disclosed for navigation. In at least one embodiment, the method enabling a navigation device to output a warning; determining, within the navigation device, whether or not at least one parameter governing output of the warning is met; and outputting the warning upon determining that each at least one parameter governing output of the warning is met. In at least one embodiment, the navigation device includes a processor to enable the navigation device to output a warning and to determine, within the navigation device, whether or not at least one parameter governing output of the warning is met; and an output device to output the warning upon the processor determining that each at least one parameter governing output of the warning is met. | 09-04-2008 |
20090068950 | System Comprising a Navigation Device and an Electronic Device - A system is disclosed including an electronic device with an analog output which is connectable to an analog input amplifier of a vehicle. In at least one embodiment, the system includes a wireless standard first transceiver which can convert and send digital audio signals using digital audio streaming system to an analog audio output; and a navigation device with a wireless standard second transceiver which can send together audio and voice instructions corresponding to a current navigation as digital audio signal using digital audio streaming. | 03-12-2009 |
20090326803 | Navigation device and method for exchanging data between resident applications - In one embodiment of the present invention, navigation software is integrated with other kinds of software running on the same device so that capabilities of the navigation software can be made available from within the other applications. In one example embodiment, those applications can export street, city or postcode format address data to the navigation software. The address data can then be converted to a co-ordinate system based address by the navigation software, which can then automatically be set as the destination address used by the navigation software in calculating the route and/or automatically marked on a map generated and displayed by the navigation software. | 12-31-2009 |
20100299062 | Navigation device displaying travel information - A navigation device, programmable with map data and a navigation application that enables a route to be planned between two user-defined places; the device is operable to read a removable memory card storing the device operating system, the navigation application, and the map data. It does not need to store the operating system in mask ROM; hence, customisation for a specific country requires only that the appropriate memory card be inserted at the time of use. | 11-25-2010 |
20110144904 | Navigation device and method for displaying alternative routes - A navigation device has a route re-calculation function. This is activated by the user touching the screen to task away from the normal navigation map mode to a menu screen which displays multiple types of route re-calculation options. | 06-16-2011 |
