Abstract

Various embodiments of systems and methods to provide pre-defined navigation locations in a navigation system are described herein. In one aspect, a list of pre-defined location icons is provided on a graphical user interface. Further, the GUI enables to select at least two pre-defined location icons from the list of pre-defined location icons and driving information between locations is rendered corresponding to the selected at least two pre-defined location icons.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer implemented method comprising:
providing a list of pre-defined location icons on a graphical user interface; enabling selection of at least two pre-defined location icons from the list of pre-defined location icons; and rendering driving information between locations corresponding to the selected at least two pre-defined location icons.

2 . The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein providing the list of pre-defined location icons comprises:
rendering a list of location icons on the graphical user interface; and providing an option to define the location icons with location addresses associated with places of interest.

3 . The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the addresses corresponding to the pre-defined location icons are stored in an in-memory computing repository.

4 . The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the at least two pre-defined location icons comprises one or more of swiping from a first pre-defined location icon to a second pre-defined location icon and tapping the first pre-defined location icon and the second pre-defined location icon.

5 . The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein rendering the driving information comprises:
providing an option to input details for a shared drive; and updating a shared navigation schedule based on the input.

6 . The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein rendering the driving information comprises displaying a route map between the locations corresponding to the selected at least two pre-defined location icons.

7 . The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the computer generated graphical user interface provides an option to modify addresses corresponding to the pre-defined location icons.

8 . A computing system comprising:
at least one processor; and one or more memory devices communicative with the at least one processor, wherein the one or more memory devices store instructions to:
provide a list of pre-defined location icons on a graphical user interface;
enable selection of at least two pre-defined location icons from the list of pre-defined location icons; and
render driving information between locations corresponding to the selected at least two pre-defined location icons.

9 . The computing system of claim 8 , wherein providing the list of pre-defined location icons comprises:
rendering a list of location icons on the graphical user interface; and providing an option to define the location icons with location addresses associated with places of interest.

10 . The computing system of claim 8 , wherein the addresses corresponding to the pre-defined location icons are stored in an in-memory computing repository.

11 . The computing system of claim 8 , wherein selecting the at least two pre-defined location icons comprises one or more of swiping from a first pre-defined location icon to a second pre-defined location icon and tapping the first pre-defined location icon and the second pre-defined location icon.

12 . The computing system of claim 8 , wherein rendering the driving information comprises:
providing an option to input details for a shared drive; and updating a shared navigation schedule based on the input.

13 . The computing system of claim 8 , wherein rendering the driving information comprises displaying a route map between the locations corresponding to the selected at least two pre-defined location icons.

14 . A graphical user interface displayable on a computing device, comprising:
a list of pre-defined location icons, wherein at least two pre-defined location icons are selectable from the list of pre-defined location icons; and driving information between locations corresponding to selected two or more pre-defined location icons.

15 . The graphical user interface of claim 14 , wherein the location icons are defined with location addresses associated with places of interest.

16 . The graphical user interface of claim 14 , wherein the driving information comprises a route map between the locations corresponding to the selected at least two pre-defined location icons.

17 . The graphical user interface of claim 14 , wherein the driving information comprises an option to input details for a shared drive.

18 . The graphical user interface of claim 14 , wherein selection of pre-defined location icons comprises swiping from a first pre-defined location icon to a second pre-defined location icon.

19 . The graphical user interface of claim 14 , wherein selection of pre-defined location icons comprises tapping the first pre-defined location icon and the second pre-defined location icon.

20 . The graphical user interface of claim 15 , further comprises an option to modify addresses corresponding to the pre-defined location icons.
