Navigation and Itinerary Management System
First Claim
1. A navigation device comprising an itinerary preparing system for preparing and maintaining an itinerary, the system comprising:
- memory for storing itinerary data associated with the itinerary, the itinerary data including data representative of a destination and a time constraint associated with the destination;
a display for displaying the itinerary;
a position detection system for detecting positional information associated with the navigation device;
a processor programmable to correlate the positional information with the itinerary data and detect an inability to satisfy the time constraint;
wherein the memory further includes an alternative destination; and
wherein the processor is further programmable to determine whether the alternative destination will satisfy the time constraint and, if so, revise the itinerary by replacing the destination with the alternative destination.

Abstract
A navigation device comprises an itinerary preparation and management system. The device includes a memory for storing itinerary data including data representative of a destination and a time constraint, such as a deadline, earliest time, or range of times during which the user wants to arrive at the destination. The navigation device also includes a display for displaying the itinerary, a position detection system for detecting positional information associated with the navigation device, and a processor programmable to correlate the positional information with the itinerary data and detect an inability to satisfy the time constraint. The navigation device has access to alternative destinations and is able to determine whether one of the alternative destinations will satisfy the time constraint. If so, the navigation device provides the user with an opportunity to replace the destination with the alternative destination.

12. A computer-implemented method of preparing and maintaining an itinerary in a navigation device, the method comprising:
-
storing in a memory itinerary data associated with the itinerary, the itinerary data including data representative of a destination and a time constraint associated with the destination; displaying the itinerary; detecting positional information associated with the navigation device; correlating the positional information with the itinerary data and detecting an inability to satisfy the time constraint; wherein the storing further includes storing an alternative destination; and further comprising determining whether the alternative destination will satisfy the time constraint and, if so, revising the itinerary by replacing the destination with the alternative destination. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
