Abstract: Various embodiments relate to scheduling a future navigation route. A user may select one or more points of interests (POIs) along a route to be routed to in the future. The one or more POIs may be within a geographic vicinity of the vehicle in which the user is travelling when the user makes the selection. The user may also input a future date and/or time for routing to the selected POI. The user selected POI and the date and/or time may comprise routing event information, which may be stored in memory for future routing.

Abstract: A navigation system is configured to plot a route through a shopping area that visits various stores offering specific types of promotions. A user of the navigation system first selects a desired promotion, including a discount level, among other possibilities. Then, the user selects a category of store where the user wishes to shop. The navigation system then identifies nearby stores offering the desired promotion that fall within the selected category, and plots a route that visits each identified store. The route may traverse from the current location of the user to a final destination, or may represent a circuit with collocated starting and ending positions.
