NAVIGATING AT A WIRELESS DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method of navigating, from a current position to a destination location, at a mobile device, comprising:
- launching a navigation program at the mobile device;
receiving a selection of a calendar event from a calendar program, the calendar event being an entry in the calendar program;
determining a location associated with the calendar event;
determining the destination location based on the associated location; and
generating navigation instructions to travel from a current location of the mobile device to the destination location.

Abstract
Apparatuses and Methods of navigating from a current position to a destination location at a mobile device are provided. A navigation program is launched at the mobile device, and a selection of a calendar event from a calendar program is received, where the calendar event is an entry in the calendar program. A location associated with the received calendar event location is determined, and a destination location is determined based on the associated location. The navigation program generates navigation instructions (e.g., turn-by-turn directions, map information, etc.) from a current location of the mobile device to the destination location. In an alternative aspect, instead of a calendar program, the associated location can be retrieved from a given contact in a contact list or program.

16. A method of navigating, from a current position to a destination location, at a mobile device, comprising:
-
launching a navigation program at the mobile device; receiving a selection of a contact from a contact list at the mobile device; determining whether at least one location is associated with the selected contact; selecting, if the determining step determines that at least one location is associated with the selected contact, the destination location from the at least one location of the selected contact; and generating navigation instructions from a current location of the mobile device to the destination location if the determining step determines that at least one location is associated with the selected contact, the associated location being the destination location of the navigation program. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
