  • Patent number: 10393538
    Abstract: A navigation apparatus comprises a processing resource arranged to support, when in use, an operational environment, the operational environment supporting a route calculator, a time estimation module, a route segmentation module and a weather data processing engine. A map database comprising geospatial data is also provided. The route calculator is arranged to calculate, when in use, a route between a first location and a second location. The time estimation module is arranged to estimate a time at which a user will be present at a location along the route. The route segmentation module arranged to divide the route into a plurality of route parts and to obtain from the time estimation module at least one time of presence associated with at least one of the plurality of route parts, respectively. The weather data processing engine arranged to provide weather data associated with a route part of the plurality of route parts in respect of the time of presence associated with the route part.
