Route Determination Arrangement and Method
First Claim
1. A method in a wireless device for determining by said wireless device a route between a current location of the wireless device and a destination location in an electronic map stored in a memory unit, the method comprising:
- in the electronic map, establishing the current location of the wireless device by providing a signal corresponding to said current location,in the electronic map, obtaining the destination location of the wireless device,calculating by means of a control unit within the wireless device, a route from the current location to the destination location, which route comprises a number of spots,transmitting by a transmitting unit of the wireless device a request for data from a database within the wireless device, which data is associated with one or more places relating to respective one or more of the spots along the calculated route, which one or more places has been registered as being visited by the wireless device,receiving by a receiver said data associated with one or more places relating to respective one or more of the spots along the calculated route,calculating an alternative route by means of the control unit and storing in a memory a set of data comprising replacement to one or more of the spots with a respective received visited place related to it, andremoving in said memory, data corresponding to one or more spots between the current location and the replaced spots, thereby determining the route.

Abstract
A method for determining a route between a current location of a wireless device and a destination location includes establishing the current location of the wireless device by providing a signal corresponding to said current location and obtaining the destination location of the wireless device. A route is calculated from the current location to the destination location, wherein the route comprises a number of spots. One or more places relating to respective one or more of the spots along the calculated route are determined, wherein the one or more places has been registered as being visited by the wireless device. An alternative route is calculated and a set of data is stored that comprises replacement to one or more of the spots with a respective received visited place related to it. The one or more spots between the current location and the replaced spots are removed.
