Abstract: A method and system for presenting and manipulating a map user interface include presenting the map user interface in a vehicle tracking mode. The method and system also include changing the map user interface from the vehicle tracking mode to an exploration mode. The method and system additionally include determining a first gesture on the touchpad to pan a scalable map presented on the map user interface at a first speed. The method and system further include determining a second gesture on the touchpad to pan the scalable map presented on the map user interface at a second speed which is faster than the first speed.

Abstract: A computer device for use in modifying route navigation with waypoints is provided. The computer device includes at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. The computer device is in communication with at least one display screen and at least one touchpad. The computer device is programmed to (a) activate an edit mode from a route overview mode, (b) display a list of a plurality of destinations on a display screen, (c) detect a first touching and a first tapping on a touchpad in an area that corresponds to a destination of the plurality of destinations on the list to select the destination, (d) detect a second touching and a second tapping on the touchpad in an area that corresponds to a position in the list, and (e) move the destination to the position in the list.

Abstract: A method and system for providing absolute coordinate mapping using zone mapping input in a vehicle includes determining a touch input received on a touchpad located in the vehicle, presenting an absolute mapped position of the touch input on a display screen located in the vehicle, presenting one or more user interface objects on the display screen, and providing a plurality of display input zones corresponding to one or more user interface objects presented on the display screen. The method and system further include determining a user input to one of the one or more user interface objects presented on the display screen based on the absolute mapped position of the touch input on at least one of the one or more user interface objects presented on the display screen, and the plurality of display input zones on the display screen.

Abstract: An interactive notification communication between front and rear entertainment systems in a vehicle is provided. A first system receives a request that indicates a second system is attempting to access content. The access attempt may be a purchase, a download, a view, or other actions performed on the content. The request is selectively granted or denied based on various criteria including, the type of content. If the access request is denied, a notice is sent to the second system and the action is canceled. If the access request is granted, a notice is sent to the second system and the action being performed is allowed to proceed.
