  • Publication number: 20060116818
    Abstract: Method and system for providing multiple route navigation guidance. The system comprises a client integrated with a mobile communication device (e.g. PDA, cellular telephone, etc.) and a server communicating via wireless carriers and networks. The server obtains a user's initial position, a user-designated destination, and calculates multiple routes from the user's initial position to the destination. The client displays turn-by-turn navigation instructions to the user using the multiple routes sent by the server. If the client detects a deviation from the multiple routes, the client sends a request for new multiple routes to the server. Then, the server recalculates new multiple routes from the user's current position to the destination and sends navigation information related to the new multiple routes to the client.

  • Publication number: 20060116816
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing navigation guidance in pseudo-navigation/automatic direction indicator modes. Each system includes at least one client integrated with a mobile communication device (e.g. PDA, cellular telephone, etc.) and configured to send a request for information of a nominal route to a server. The server calculates the nominal route and sends the information to the client via wireless carriers and networks. When the user deviates from a nominal route, the client determines a recovery point on the nominal route. Then, the client provides navigation guidance in a pseudo-navigation mode or an automatic direction indicator mode without resorting to the server for a new route until the user recovers on the nominal route via the recovery point.
