SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING ALERT LOCATIONS TO NAVIGATIONAL DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method of processing an alert location at a navigation device comprising:
- detecting input of an alert condition;
determining a current location of the navigation device;
generating the alert location from the alert condition and the current location; and
transmitting the alert location.

Abstract
An originating navigation device sends an alert location to a recipient navigation device over a wireless network. The originating navigation device is operable to classify the alert location (e.g. traffic accident) and associate additional data. The recipient navigation device receives the alert location and may plan an alternative route, which circumnavigates the alert location. Further, if the recipient navigation device already has a route selected, the recipient navigation device may determine the estimated delay caused by the alert condition occurring at the alert location. The recipient device may apply filtering rules in order to screen out undesired alert locations sent by the originating navigation device.
