Networked Navigation System
First Claim
1. A method of providing alternate route possibilities between a starting position and a travel destination to a first vehicle operator using a first networked navigation device from at least one second networked navigation device, the method comprising:
- determining a first route between the starting position and the travel destination;
transmitting an alternate route request to the at least one second networked navigation device for at least a portion of the first route between the starting position and the travel destination;
receiving at least one alternate route from the at least one second networked navigation device; and
presenting the determined first route and the received at least one alternate route to the first vehicle operator, wherein the presenting includes usage data for the at least one alternate route.

Abstract
A method of providing alternate route possibilities to a first vehicle operator using a first networked navigation device includes determining a first route between a starting position and a travel destination. An alternate route request is transmitted to a second networked navigation device for a portion of the route between the starting position and the travel destination. The alternate route is received from the second navigation device. The determined first route and the received alternate route are presented to the first vehicle operator, including usage data for the alternate route.

12. A system for providing alternate route possibilities between a starting position and a travel destination to a first vehicle operator using a first networked navigation device from at least one second networked navigation device, the system comprising:
-
a routing module configured to determine a first route between the starting position and the travel destination provided by a first vehicle operator; a transmitting module configured to transmit an alternate route request to a the at least one second networked navigation device for at least a portion of the first route between the starting position and the travel destination; a receiving module configured to receive at least one alternate route from the at least one second networked navigation device; a presentation module configured to present the determined first route and the received at least one alternate route to the operator of the first vehicle, wherein the presenting includes usage data for the at least one alternate route. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

25. An article of manufacture for providing alternate route possibilities between a starting position and a travel destination to a first vehicle operator using a first networked navigation device from at least one second networked navigation device, the article of manufacture comprising a computer-readable medium holding computer-executable instructions for performing a method comprising:
-
determining a first route between the starting position and the travel destination; transmitting an alternate route request to the at least one second networked navigation device for at least a portion of the first route between the starting position and the travel destination; receiving at least one alternate route from the at least one second networked navigation device; and presenting the determined first route and the received at least one alternate route to the first vehicle operator, wherein the presenting includes usage data for the at least one alternate route. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29)
