Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In one embodiment, a navigation system may include one or more processors, a display, a satellite antenna, one or more memory devices, and map data. A route distance icon can be presented on the display, automatically, when the current location is not coincident with the route and the start offset distance is less than a predetermined distance. The route distance icon can provide the on-the-route distance. A geodesic distance icon can be presented on the display, automatically, when the current location is not coincident with the route and the start offset distance is greater than the predetermined distance. The geodesic distance icon can provide a geodesic distance from the current location to the destination.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A navigation system comprising: one or more processors; a display communicatively coupled to the one or more processors; a satellite antenna communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the satellite antenna receives a signal from one or more global positioning system satellites; one or more memory devices communicatively coupled to the one or more processors; and map data stored in the one or more memory devices, wherein the one or…
