First Claim
Patent Images
1. A navigation system, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive a first GPS location signal corresponding to a geographic location of the navigation system and a second GPS location signal corresponding to a geographic location of a vehicle;
a processor operatively coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine a relative distance of the navigation system from the vehicle based on the first GPS location signal and the second GPS location signal; and
a user interface operatively coupled to the processor, the user interface provides an alert at a predetermined distance from the vehicle.
