System and method for displaying vehicle location information
First Claim
1. A system for displaying vehicle location information in a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a current location detection device configured to provide location data for a first location of the vehicle representing the vehicle'"'"'s current location, the location data including a direction of travel for the vehicle;
a vehicle speed sensor configured to provide vehicle speed data;
a database of road network information configured to include at least one of street names and addresses along the streets thereon;
a microprocessor coupled to the current location detection device, the vehicle speed sensor and the database, the microprocessor configured to determine a second location of the vehicle at a predetermined time in the future based on the location data and vehicle speed data and further configured to determine a position identifier corresponding to the second location of the vehicle; and
a display coupled to the microprocessor and configured to display the position identifier;
wherein the predetermined time is based on a delay between receiving the location data and displaying the position identifier.

Abstract
A system for displaying vehicle location information in a vehicle includes a current location detection device configured to provide location data for a first location of the vehicle representing the vehicle'"'"'s current location, a vehicle speed sensor configured to provide vehicle speed data and a database of road network information configured to include at least one of street names and addresses along the streets thereon. The location data may include a direction of travel for the vehicle. A microprocessor coupled to the current location detector, the vehicle speed sensor and the database, the microprocessor is configured to determine a second location of the vehicle at a predetermined time in the future based on the location data and vehicle speed data and to determine a position identifier corresponding to the second location of the vehicle. A display is coupled to the microprocessor and is configured to display the position identifier.
