METHOD OF OPERATING A NAVIGATION SYSTEM TO PROVIDE A TRANSIT ACCESS MAP
First Claim
1. A method of operating a navigation system comprising:
- receiving into the navigation system a query for one or more areas accessible from a starting location by public transit under one or more trip conditions;
identifying a first transit stop in proximity to the starting location;
identifying at least one travel route along a public transit line that connects to the identified transit stop;
identifying at least one second transit stop on the identified travel route that can be accessible under one or more trip conditions;
identifying regions around the second transit stop that can be accessible from the second transit stop under the one or more trip conditions; and
generating a map that highlights the identified regions around the second transit stop that can be accessible from the second transit stop under the one or more trip conditions.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method that includes (a) receiving a query for one or more areas accessible from a starting location (e.g., a current location) by public transit under one or more trip conditions, (b) identifying one or more areas accessible from the starting location by public transit under one or more trip conditions, and (c) displaying a map that highlights the accessible one or more areas (e.g., a map that depicts only the accessible one or more areas or a map that shades the one or more areas). The one or more trip conditions may include time of day, maximum length of time, maximum travel cost, preferred and/or permitted public transit types, maximum walking distance, maximum number of transfers, etc.

10. A navigation system comprising:
-
a user interface configured to receive input and provide output; a processor; data storage containing a geographic database having data representing a plurality of public transit lines, public transit stops and road segments in a geographic region; and program instructions stored in data storage and executable by the processor to; receive a query for at least one area accessible from a starting location by public transit under a trip condition; identifying a first transit stop in proximity to the starting location; identifying at least one public transit line that connects to the identified transit stop; identifying at least one second transit stop on the identified transit line that is accessible under the trip condition; identifying at least one road segment that connect to the identified second transit stop; determining a distance of travel along the identified road segment under the trip condition; and generating a map that highlights the identified distance identified road segment under the trip condition. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
receiving into a computing platform a query for one or more areas accessible from a starting location by public transit under one or more trip conditions; identifying one or more areas accessible from the starting location by public transit under the one or more trip conditions; providing a map that highlights the accessible one or more areas and does not highlight areas that are not accessible under the one or more trip conditions - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
