- means for displacing said vehicle along a route; and
a navigation device having sensing means for sensing a displacement of the vehicle;
storage means for storing map data;
means for matching the displacement of the vehicle to the map data stored in the storage means;
means for monitoring at least one of a position and motion of said vehicle;
route planning means for planning an intended route for said vehicle from a first position to a second position; and
anticipating means for generating an anticipatory speech message before reaching an upcoming location from a speech message directory based on at least one of said position and motion of said vehicle, said anticipatory speech message including a prefix message that identifies an upcoming location, an action message that identifies an action to be taken at or about said location and a message suffix relating to said action taken and identifies an intended location as a result of said action taken.

Abstract
A navigation device for a land vehicle with means for generating a multi-element anticipatory speech message, and a vehicle comprising such device. A navigation device for a land vehicle senses vehicle displacement and stores map data. Matching of the displacement to the map data produces actual position and motion of the vehicle. Under control of user input, an intended route from an actual position to a destination is calculated. Under control of actual motion and with respect to selected elements of the intended route an anticipatory speech message is generated from a speech message directory. The message comprises a sequence of a message location prefix, a message action advice, and a message outcome suffix. The elements of the sequence may be represented in the directory by synthetic or recorded natural speech.
