METHOD OF MAP ADDRESS DATA UPDATE
First Claim
1. A method of updating a map address of map address data in a navigation system, the method comprising:
- determining when the navigation system used a destination address number input by a driver to calculate a route to a destination address;
determining when an engine of a vehicle has been shut off after the navigation system was used to calculate a route to the destination address;
determining whether the vehicle is within a predetermined range from the map address that is stored in a memory of the navigation system;
learning the address that is the closest to the location where the vehicle was shut off; and
adjusting the map address in memory based on the address that is closest to the location where the vehicle was shut off.

Abstract
A method of updating map address data in a navigation system by first determining when the navigation system has used a destination address number that was input by a driver to calculate the route to the destination address, then determining when an engine of a vehicle has been shut off after the navigation system was used to calculate a route to the destination address. Next, the navigation system determines whether the vehicle is within a predetermined range from the map address stored in a memory of the navigation system. If so, the navigation system learns the address that is the closest to the location where the vehicle was shut off and the navigation system adjusts the map address in memory based on the address that is closest to the location where the vehicle was shut off.

9. A method of updating a map address and determining a route using a navigation system of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
entering a driver-entered address number in the navigation system for a desired address; calculating a route to the driver-entered address number from a map address location in navigation memory; determining when an engine of a vehicle has been shut off after calculating a route to the driver-entered address number from a map-address location in navigation memory; memorizing a location where the vehicle was turned off; determining whether the vehicle is geographically within a predetermined distance range from the map address location stored in a memory of the navigation system; learning the actual address that is closest to the location where the vehicle was turned off; adjusting the map address in memory with a map address based on the actual address that is closest to the location where the vehicle was turned off; and determining a destination route based on the adjusted map address. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of updating map address data in a navigation system of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
entering an address number using a driver interface of the navigation system; calculating a route to a desired address that correlates to the address number; shutting off an engine of the vehicle after calculating a route to the desired address; determining whether the vehicle is within a predetermined range of distance from a location corresponding to the map address stored in a memory of the navigation system; learning an actual address nearest to the location where the vehicle was shut off; adjusting the map address in memory using an adjusted map address using the actual address where the vehicle was shut off and a first road end address and a second road end address of a road along which the actual address is located; and determining a destination route based on the adjusted map address. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
