NAVIGATION DEVICE INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A PND comprising:
- a display;
a memory;
a processor;
one or more speakers; and
at least one signal reception device to receive signals useable to determine an approximate global position of the PND in conjunction with software installed on the PND, the software also performing at least one of one or more primary navigation and route calculation functions, and one or more secondary functions including the audible reproduction of digital content stored in said memory, the software further causing the display to display changing graphical map information during route navigation and being capable of causing the display to display one or more configuration menus to enable a user to configure various PND operation options, the software further providing an option for causing the display to display a user-selectable graphical indicator during route navigation in conjunction with the changing graphical map information, selection of the user-selectable graphical indicator during navigation causing the software to cause the display to display a configuration menu specific to the audible reproduction of the stored digital content.

Abstract
A music configuration menu shortcut is provided in a PND by software which interacts within a music menu display device. In one embodiment, A PND having a display, memory, processing capability, one or more speakers, and at least one signal reception device by which the PND can determine its approximate position globally by way of software installed on the device is disclosed. The PND performs one or more primary navigation and/or route calculation functions, as well as one or more secondary functions including the audible reproduction of digital content stored in the memory. The software also causes the display of changing graphical map information during route navigation and is capable of being caused to display one or more configuration menus to enable a user to configure various primary or secondary device operation options. In at least one embodiment, the software further provides an option for the on-screen display of a user-selectable graphical indicator during route navigation in conjunction with the changing graphical map information, selection of the indicator during navigation causing the software to display a configuration menu specific to the reproduction of digital music. In an alternative embodiment, the music menu display device includes a physical button by which one or more of the music reproduction and/or configuration menus can be caused to be displayed.

11. A method of operating a PND including a display, a memory, a processor, one or more speakers, and at least one signal reception device to receive signals useable to determine an approximate global position of the PND, the method comprising:
-
performing at least one of one or more primary navigation and route calculation functions on the PND; performing one or more secondary functions on the PND including the audible reproduction of digital content stored in the memory; causing the display to display changing graphical map information during route navigation; causing the display to display one or more configuration menus to enable a user to configure various PND operation options; and providing an option for causing the display to display a user-selectable graphical indicator during route navigation in conjunction with the changing graphical map information, selection of the user-selectable graphical indicator during navigation causing the display to display a configuration menu specific to the audible reproduction of the stored digital content. - View Dependent Claims (15)
