Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an electronic device mount (10) operable to provide navigation information to an electronic device (D). The mount (10) generally includes a housing (12) operable to securely retain the electronic device (D) and removably couple with a surface. The housing (12) preferably encloses or supports various portions of an antenna (14), a processor (18), and/or a transmitter (16). The antenna (14) is operable to receive a navigation signal, the processor (18) is operable to generate navigation information utilizing the received navigation signal, and the transmitter (16) operable to wirelessly transmit the generated navigation information to the electronic device (D). Such a configuration enables the electronic device (D) to receive navigation information from the mount (10) while being compactly and securely retained.

Abstract: A navigation device is provided that includes a GPS input that receives GPS information from a GPS satellite. The system also includes a non-GPS input that receives real-time content from a non-GPS source. The real-time content includes updates to travel conditions. The system also includes a navigation module that analyzes the updates from the non-GPS source in conjunction with the GPS information form the GPS satellite.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a combined receiver and power adapter. The adapter generally includes a coupling element operable to couple with a power source, a receiver operable to wirelessly receive information, a housing operable to house the coupling element and the receiver, and a connection element operable to couple the coupling element and the receiver with an electronic device. Coupling of the connection element with the electronic device enables the adapter to provide power and/or received information to the electronic device. Such a configuration enables the electronic device to be provided with power and information without requiring the use of a plurality of cables or numerous external housings.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an integrated receiver and power adapter (10). The adapter (10) generally includes a coupling element (12) operable to couple with a power source (S), a receiver (14) operable to wirelessly receive information, a housing (16) operable to house the receiver (14), and a connection element (18) operable to couple with an electronic device (D).
