Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for improved navigation using the global positioning system (GPS). A method of improved navigation includes transmitting position information from a first GPS-enabled device to a navigation server through a wireless communication channel automatically at a time interval. The method further includes receiving mapping information from the navigation server. The mapping information corresponds to the position information. The method further includes outputting the mapping information. In this manner, the most up-to-date navigation information is automatically available.
