Abstract: A system and method for finding an intended destination using an in-vehicle navigation system. Intended destinations are received and are coupled to an in-vehicle navigation system using various methods. In one embodiment, the intended destinations are stored on a magnetic strip that is disposed on the back of a plastic card. The plastic card is inserted into the in-vehicle navigation system where the data on the magnetic strip is read. Alternatively, a transmitter/receiver system is used to transmit the intended destinations to the in-vehicle navigation system. Once the intended destinations are coupled to the in-vehicle navigation system, the user is able to find an intended destination by selecting the desired intended destination from a list displayed by the in-vehicle navigation system. The in-vehicle navigation system then determines the current location of the vehicle and indicates how to find the intended destination using a moving map display and/or verbal instructions.
