PORTABLE NAVIGATION DEVICE, PORTABLE ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF GENERATING RADIO DATA SYSTEM INFORMATION THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A portable navigation device, comprising:
- a processing resource operably coupled to a Radio Data System communications unit and a location determination unit, the processing resource supporting a country code selector;
a data store capable of storing Radio Data System country code data, the data store being operably coupled to the processing resource;
wherein the processing resource is arranged to determine a first country associated with location data generated, when in use, by the location determination unit;
the country code selector is arranged to identify a first country code from the country code data that does not correspond to the first country associated with the location data and a second country neighbouring the first country; and
the processing resource is arranged to use the first country code to generate a Programme Identification code.

Abstract
A portable navigation device includes a processing resource operably coupled to a Radio Data System communications unit and a location determination unit. In at least one embodiment, the processing resource supports a country code selector and is operably coupled to a data store capable of storing Radio Data System country code data. In at least one embodiment, the processing resource is also arranged to determine a first country associated with location data generated, when in use, by the location determination unit, the country code selector being arranged to identify a first country code from the country code data that does not correspond to the first country associated with the location data and a second country neighbouring the first country. The processing resource is also arranged to use the first country code to generate a Programme Identification code.
