    Abstract: Point of interest (POI) navigation uses search results displayed based both on the current time of day, as well as matching business hours of operation of the displayed POI. In this way, as desired by appropriate menu selection, only businesses that are currently open (or open at an estimated time of arrival (TOA)) are displayed as relevant POIs. The mobile device navigation system considers an approximate time of arrival (TOA) to each relevant POI, and determines whether each POI is open or otherwise usable by the user of the device. The mobile device navigation system may display a POI result identifying the farthest POI meeting given criteria that would be open at the estimated time of arrival, along a preplanned route, or within range of the onboard fuel.
