1. A method, comprising:
- receiving one or more weather signals on at least a first channel of a navigation device, where the one or more weather signals include location information;
determining one or more positions using the navigation device;
comparing the one or more positions with the location information;
generating a weather alert in the navigation device based on comparing the one or more positions with the location information;
performing a routing algorithm to calculate a route, where the route includes one or more waypoints;
comparing the one or more waypoints with the location information of the one or more weather signals; and
generating the weather alert based on comparing the one or more waypoints of the route with the location information.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for location specific alerts. The method can include determining one or more positions using a navigation device. One or more weather signals received on at least a first channel of the navigation device, where the one or more weather signals include location information, can be compared to the one or more positions. From the comparison, a weather alert can be generated in the navigation device. Determining the one or more positions further includes determining the positions from a global positioning system (GPS) enabled navigation device.

38. A method for providing location specific alerts, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving in a navigation device indication from a user of a destination; determining in the navigation device a starting point; determining in the navigation device at least one heading from the starting point to the destination; receiving in the navigation device one or more weather signals, wherein the weather signals include location information relating to adverse weather conditions; determining in the navigation device if any of the adverse weather conditions are expected to be encountered along the heading from the starting point to the destination; and generating in the navigation device a weather alert it any of the adverse weather conditions are expected to be encountered along the heading from the starting point to the destination.
