1. A method of predicting a path of travel, comprising:
- establishing a travel profile for a user, wherein the travel profile comprises coordinates related to a plurality of trips taken by the user;
receiving real-time data comprising a plurality of coordinates related to the movement of the user; and
generating a predicted path by comparing the real-time data to the travel profile.

Abstract
A path prediction method that uses a commuter'"'"'s travel patterns to predict their route and destination, and transmit road advisories via a GPS-enabled device. Once the user'"'"'s location data is transmitted via a GPS-enabled device it is then catalogued and stored in a GIS database. The user'"'"'s current travel path is then compared to their path history and statistics and a destination is determined based on related spatial and time properties. A warning is then automatically delivered to the user if there is an accident along their predicted path, without requiring any request or input form the user.
