Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: generating a travel route having a first destination; assigning a first travel category for the first destination; detecting a detour to a second destination separate from the travel route; assigning a second travel category for the second destination; and capturing a mileage measurement for the travel route where the detour to the second destination is excluded based on the first travel category not being the same as the second travel category for displaying on a device.

Claims

1. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:

generating a travel route having a first destination;

assigning a first travel category for the first destination;

detecting a detour to a second destination separate from the travel route;

assigning a second travel category for the second destination; and

capturing a mileage measurement for the travel route where the detour to the second destination is excluded based on the first travel category not being the same as the second travel category for displaying on a device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a message having a caller identification;

capturing the mileage measurement of the detour to the second destination; and

wherein assigning the second travel category for the second destination includes;

identifying a street address associated with the caller identification; and

assigning the second travel category based on the caller identification and the street address.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

receiving an itinerary, having a first location name;

identifying a street address associated with the first location name; and

wherein;

generating the travel route includes generating the travel route to the street address; and

assigning the first travel category includes identifying a purpose associated with the first destination and the first location name.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a street address to the first destination;

identifying a first location name from the street address; and

wherein;

assigning the first travel category includes identifying a purpose associated with the first destination and the first location name.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a rejection for the second travel category;

assigning the first travel category for the second destination; and

wherein capturing the mileage measurement for the travel route includes capturing the mileage measurement to the first destination and capturing the mileage measurement to the second destination.

6. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:

generating a travel route having a first destination;

identifying a first location name associated with the first destination;

assigning a first travel category for the first destination based on the first location name;

detecting a detour to a second destination separate from the travel route;

identifying a second location name associated with the second destination;

assigning a second travel category for the second destination based on the second location name; and

capturing a mileage measurement for the travel route where the detour to the second destination is excluded based on the first travel category not being the same as the second travel category for displaying on a device.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

receiving a rejection of both the second travel category and the first travel category;

assigning a third travel category for the second destination; and

capturing a mileage measurement for the travel route starting from the first destination to the second destination.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

receiving a rejection of the second travel category;

assigning the first travel category for the detour; and

wherein capturing the mileage measurement for the travel route includes capturing the mileage measurement to the first destination and to the detour of the second destination.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

receiving a cancellation; and

terminating the capture of the mileage measurement after the cancellation.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

capturing a temporal measurement to the first destination;

detecting an arrival at the first destination;

terminating the capture of the mileage measurement based on the arrival;

displaying a continuation query; and

receiving an acceptance of the continuation of the temporal measurement after the arrival.

11. A navigation system comprising:

a create route module for generating a travel route having a first destination;

a first category module, coupled to the create route module, for assigning a first travel category for the first destination;

a detect detour module, coupled to the first category module, for detecting a detour to a second destination separate from the travel route;

a second category module, coupled to the detect detour module, for assigning a second travel category for the second destination; and

a capture module, coupled to the second category module, for capturing a mileage measurement for the travel route where the detour to the second destination is excluded based on the first travel category not being the same as the second travel category for displaying on a device.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

a detect message module, for receiving a message having a caller identification;

a street address module, coupled to the detect message module, for identifying a street address associated with the caller identification; and

wherein;

the second category module, coupled to the street address module, is for assigning the second travel category based on the caller identification and the street address; and

the capture module, coupled to the second category module, is for capturing the mileage measurement of the detour to the second destination.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

the first category module is for assigning the first travel category for the first destination based on the first location name.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

an itinerary module, coupled to the create route module, for receiving a street address to the first destination;

an identify name module, coupled to the itinerary module, for identifying a first location name from the street address; and

wherein;

the first category module is for assigning the first travel category includes identifying a purpose associated with the first destination and the first location name.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

a verification module, coupled to the first category module, for receiving a rejection for the second travel category; and

wherein;

the first category module is for assigning the first travel category for the second destination; and

the capture module is for capturing the mileage measurement to the first destination and the mileage measurement to the second destination.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

an identify second name module, coupled to the second category module, for identifying a second location name associated with the second destination; and

wherein;

the first category module is for identifying a purpose associated with the first destination and the first location name; and
