Abstract
In the field of electronic mapping and GPS related or location based navigation software applications for mobile devices, many applications and features exist to aid a user in knowing current or future conditions of travel like traffic status, current speed, direction, time and distance remaining to reach a certain destination, weather conditions in a certain specified area, points of interest along a specified route and so on to name a few. All of these features can fall into the category of what can be called as Travel Informatics. The current Navigation application features some unique and hitherto unavailable features displayed directly on a digital map and automatically updated to show many useful travel related types of information in an easy to understand user interface that can better aid a user in knowing travel conditions in the context of real-time GPS aided navigation and or desktop finger navigation of digital maps and in other ways as illustrated here.
