First Claim
Patent Images
1. A navigation system comprising:
- a user interface including a touch screen display that outputs data to a user and receives data input from the user; and
a processor configured to receive data input via the user interface and formulate a navigation route from a route start to a route destination, wherein the processor is further configured toreceive and analyze data input via the user interface, wherein the data input comprises a traced path corresponding to one or more route segments indicating a user-defined navigation route segment, andincorporate the user-defined navigation route segment within a navigation route as part of formulating the navigation route from the route start to the route destination.

Abstract
A navigation system, components and methodologies enables a process for including a specific route segment on a calculated route from a starting location to a destination. Accordingly, the navigation system, its components and the associated navigation route planning methodologies enable planning based on at least a user'"'"'s personal preference for the inclusion of at least one specific route segment in a planned navigation route.

13. A method for navigation route planning, the method comprising:
-
displaying a map of a geographic region on a touch screen; receiving input user-defined route data from a user for formulating at least one user-defined navigation route segment via the touch screen, wherein the user-defined route data comprises a traced path corresponding to one or more route segments on the map; and analyzing the received, user-defined route data using a processor coupled to the touch screen to identify and formulate a user defined navigation route including a route start, route destination and a plurality of waypoints corresponding to the at least one user-defined navigation route segment. - View Dependent Claims (14, 16, 17, 18, 23)

24. A transportation system comprising:
-
a navigation system including a processor configured to receive data input via a user interface and formulate a navigation route from a route start to a route destination, wherein the processor is further configured to receive and analyze data input via the user interface and wherein the data input comprises a traced path corresponding to one or more route segments indicating at least one user-defined navigation route segment; and a passenger vehicle including the user interface which further includes a touch screen display that outputs data to the user and receives data from the user, wherein the processor is configured to incorporate the at least one user-defined navigation route segment within a user-defined navigation route as part of formulating the user-defined navigation route from the route start to the route destination, wherein a navigation route is formulated to include available roads by comparing the user-defined navigation route with data indicating available roads, and the formulated navigation route including available roads is output via the touch screen display. - View Dependent Claims (25)
