Predictive navigation
First Claim
1. A method for predicting a destination of a vehicle, comprising:
- for a plurality of completed trips, saving one or more parameters relating to each completed trip in a database, comparing the one or more saved parameters to one or more corresponding parameters relating to a present trip, and predicting a most likely destination for the present trip based on the comparison.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides an on-board navigation system for a commuter vehicle that automatically saves in a database addresses corresponding to destinations to which the vehicle has traveled, along with one or more parameters relating to the addresses. The navigation system uses these parameters to predict a destination by comparing the present state of the vehicle to the saved parameters. The navigation system can present the user with a prioritized list of addresses based on the predicted and prompt the user to select a destination from list. Thus a user can conveniently inform the navigation system of an intended destination. The navigation system can automatically determine a route to the destination based on present traffic conditions, and may have the ancillary benefit of informing the user of traffic conditions, or directing the user around such traffic conditions, even if the user was not otherwise interested in receiving a route.

8. A method of determining a route from a present position to a destination of a present trip in a vehicle, comprising:
-
comparing one or more parameters relating to the present trip to corresponding one or more parameters relating to a plurality of past trips of the vehicle;
determining a most likely destination based on the comparison;
asking a user of the vehicle to select the most likely destination or to choose another destination; and
determining route information between the present position and the selected most likely destination or the chosen another destination. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for predicting navigation routes for a present trip of a vehicle, comprising:
-
a database for storing parameters relating to a plurality of trips of the vehicle;
a processor programmed to;
(I) compare one or more parameters relating to the present trip to corresponding one or more parameters relating to a plurality of past trips of the vehicle and determine one or more likely destinations, based on the comparison, and (II) determine routes to the one or more likely destination; and
