Abstract: Apparatus, methods, processors and computer readable media for determining a suggested route having an estimated minimum fuel usage for a vehicle based on a estimated fuel efficiency for the vehicle for different speeds of the vehicle and based on estimated speeds for the route. The estimated fuel efficiency for the vehicle is based on aggregated data for the vehicle. Alternatively, the estimated fuel efficiency is based on actual data for the vehicle. In some embodiments, suggested routes are constrained by user route preferences, and real-time route information. Alternatively or additionally, the estimated fuel usage is based on actual driver behavior data.

Abstract: Methods and system of securing content and a destination of downloaded data may include a remote server comprising an executable file generator module operable to generate a customized file comprising requested map information and a data marker locking the map information to a predetermined end user device. The file generator module is further operable to encrypt the data marker and place a cipher key at a predetermined location in the customized file. The remote server is further operable to provide a download link to a user operating a user computing device operable to download the customized file from the remote server, for subsequent transfer to an end user device. Based upon the contents of the data marker, the end user device is operable to determine whether the downloaded file is intended for that particular end user device.

Abstract: A method of and computer system for assisting GPS position determination is described. Ephemeris and updated almanac information for a GPS satellite is received over a datalink. Based on the received updated almanac information and GPS parity algorithms, data bits of the GPS signal are reconstructed. Based on the current time, the reconstructed data bits are synchronized with the time of reception of a GPS signal from a satellite currently in view. The reconstructed data bits are subtracted from the received GPS signal at the synchronized time. A coherent integration of the received GPS signal over the time period corresponding to the reconstructed data bits is performed to obtain a GPS pseudo-range measurement. The GPS receiver position is determined using the generated, synchronized pseudo-range measurement and the ephemeris information received over the datalink.
