Abstract
A navigation system includes a driving profile program. The driving profile program collects information about an end user'"'"'s driving activity. The information relates to trips made by the end user. The information includes departure times, intermediate stops, arrival times, purposes of the trips, and so on. After collecting this information over a period of time, the driving profile program analyzes the end user'"'"'s driving activity. The driving profile program provides the end user with a driving activity profile. In addition, the driving profile program determines ways to reduce the amount of time and/or expense that the end user spends traveling in his/her vehicle and suggests modifications to the end user'"'"'s driving activity that would save the end user time or expense.
