Abstract
Navigation systems and services are described. The navigation services can include obtaining a route or route segment based on a location of a vehicle and a destination. Based on the route, a current fuel supply of the vehicle, and a number of factors related to fuel consumption, a refueling location can be estimated. A number of locations of fuel stations in proximity to the refueling location can be determined and presented to a user, for example, on a map showing the route.

16. A navigation system present in a vehicle for providing fuel-related navigation services comprising:
-
a positioning system configured to determine a current location of the vehicle; a map application configured to provide a map including the current location and a user-defined destination; a routing application configured to provide a route from the current location to the destination; a fuel module configured to; determine whether a current fuel amount in the vehicle is sufficient for the vehicle to travel the route, and if not, to determine a refueling location; and obtain locations for one or more fuel stations within a defined proximity to the refueling location; and a presentation engine configured to provide a display of the map including the route and locations of the one or more fuel stations indicated thereon.
