  • Patent number: 9689705
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating and displaying a linear visual indicator of an entire route on a singular screen. One method includes calculating a route based on start and destination location and then determining various conditions along the calculated route. These conditions include, for example, traffic, weather, construction, road type, etc. This discloses generating and displaying a linear depiction of the full route and the navigation mapping screen, to provide the user with an easily understandable and accessible view of the full picture of route conditions.

  • Patent number: 9689693
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating and displaying a comparison of multiple modes of transportation for reaching a destination. One method includes receiving, for a user over an electronic network, log-in information, one or more transportation preferences and a destination; identifying a subset of available modes of transportation to the destination; determining a time, distance, and cost associated with traveling to the destination using each available mode; identify a further subset of acceptable modes by comparing the determined time, distance and cost of each available mode against one or more of the user's preferences, the user's history, a date and time, one or more assumption, and a mode total weighting; and identifying at least one option for traveling to the destination using each acceptable mode.
