Abstract
A system for improving the operation of a GPS based navigator. Statistical and/or time of day information is used to select the best route between a current location and a desired location. The statistical information may take into account anomalies, and a user can select the amount of risk they which take. The system can be updated with more updated information. In addition, the selection of the desired location can be carried out by downloading information from a PDA.

15. A system, comprising:
-
a position monitoring element, monitoring a current position of an installed vehicle, said position monitoring element producing information indicative of said current position;
a processor element, including an associated memory, responsive to said information indicative of said current position, operating to determine mapping information, based on stored map data in said memory, and to determine information about said current position relative to the said mapping information; and
a user interface for said processor element, and enabling entry of information to obtain said mapping information, said user interface including an interface to a PDA which enables information in the PDA to be used to select said mapping information. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A system, comprising:
-
a memory, storing mapping information, a user interface, allowing the selection of a destination; and
a processor, operating based on said selection of said destination, and said mapping information from said memory, to calculate automatically a route to said destination, said processor operating to first map a first portion of the route which will first be followed and produce an output indicative of a display of information, and to subsequently map a second portion of the route, after said output is produced. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
