Abstract
A navigator receives a location identifier such as an address via signal transmission and calculates a route to or from the identified location. By transmitting a starting location and/or a destination to a navigator, one can eliminate the need for entering this information manually. For example, one typically stores addresses in a device such as a computer, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), or cellular telephone. But instead of accessing an address and then manually entering it into the navigator, one can cause the device to download the address to the navigator via signal transmission. This saves time and reduces the chance of errors as compared to manual entry. Alternatively, the navigator can receive the location identifier from a data-storage medium such as a CD-ROM or from a data-storage device such as a memory card.
