Translation technology for navigation system arrangement
First Claim
1. A method for translation of navigation data, comprising the steps of:
- obtaining destination data having an original format type, and current coordinate data;
translating the destination data having the original format type to a specific format type;
communicating the specific format type and the current coordinate data to an offboard source, the offboard source having navigation route data associated therewith;
receiving specific navigation route data from the offboard source in the specific format type;
translating the received specific navigation route data in the specific format type to one of the original format type and another specific format type; and
disseminating the translated specific navigation route data.

Abstract
Disclosed is a navigation data translating method and arrangement. A translating device translates a destination data in an original format into a predetermined format, such as into American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII). A communication device communicates the predetermined format to an offboard source that has navigation route data thereon. The communication device receives specific navigation route data from the offboard source in the predetermined format. The translating devices translates the received specific navigation route data into the original format type and sends the translated data onto an input/output device that disseminates the translated route data.

16. A navigation data translation arrangement, comprising:
-
an input/output element processing destination data having an original format type;
a translating element translating the destination data having the original format type to a specific format type; and
a communication element communicating the specific format type to an offboard source, the offboard source having navigation route data associated therewith, wherein the communication element receives specific navigation route data from the offboard source in the specific format type, the translating element translates the received specific navigation route data in the specific format type to one of the original format type and another specific format type, and the input/output element disseminates the translated route data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
