Navigation data quality feedback
First Claim
1. A method for determining exceptions from a recommended route in a navigation application, comprising:
- providing to a computer assisted navigation system a recommended route for a vehicle to travel from a first location to a second location;
monitoring a location of the vehicle when the vehicle is traveling from the first location to the second location;
determining that the vehicle has deviated from the recommended route;
determining if the deviation from the recommended route is one of a set of expected deviations by examining a set of rules associated with the monitored location of the vehicle;
querying, by a dispatcher located remote from the vehicle, a driver of the vehicle when the deviation from the recommended route is different than the one of the set of expected deviations;
receiving a response from the driver of the vehicle indicating that the recommended route is not an optimal route; and
generating an exception notification based on the response from the driver of the vehicle.

Abstract
A computer assisted navigation system determines a recommended route for a vehicle to travel between a source and destination location, and provides exception notifications in some events where the vehicle travels a route different that the recommended route. The vehicle includes a navigation system that has a location monitoring component. It is determined if the location of the vehicle is different than a location along the recommended route. An exception notification is generated when the vehicle is not along the recommended route it is likely that the reason the recommended route was not used is because the recommended route is not the optimal route between the source and destination locations.

9. A computer assisted navigation system that is operably interconnected with a vehicle and operable to assist a driver of the vehicle with navigation, comprising:
-
a location sensor operable to output a current location of the vehicle; a wireless communication portion operable to send/receive wireless communication; a controller operably coupled to said location sensor and wireless communication portion; and a user interface operable to provide the driver with navigation information, wherein said controller is operable to receive current location information from said location sensor, use said location information to determine that the vehicle has deviated from a recommended route, determine if the deviation from the recommended route is one of a set of expected deviations by examining a set of predefined rules associated with the current location of the vehicle, query, by a dispatcher located remote from the vehicle, a driver of the vehicle when the deviation from the recommended route is not the one of the set of expected deviations, receive a response from the driver of the vehicle indicating that the recommended route is not an optimal route, and generate an exception notification based on the response from the driver of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A tangible data storage medium comprising executable data capable of causing a programmable device to perform the steps of:
-
providing a recommended route for a vehicle to travel from a first location to a second location; monitoring a location of the vehicle when the vehicle is traveling from the first location to the second location; determining that the vehicle has deviated from the recommended route; determining if the deviation from the recommended route is one of a set of expected deviations by examining a set of rules associated with the monitored location of the vehicle; querying, by a dispatcher located remote from the vehicle, a driver of the vehicle when the deviation from the recommended route is different than the one of the set of expected deviations; receiving a response from the driver of the vehicle indicating that the recommended route is not an optimal route; and generating an exception notification based on the response from the driver of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method for determining exceptions from a recommended route in a computer assisted navigation application, comprising:
-
providing a computer assisted navigation system that is capable of noting deviations between a location of the vehicle and a recommended route for the vehicle; determining that the vehicle has deviated from the recommended route; determining that another vehicle made a similar deviation from the recommended route; querying, by a dispatcher located remote from the vehicle, a driver of the vehicle when it is determined that at least two vehicles made the similar deviation from the recommended route; receiving a response from the driver of the vehicle indicating that the recommended route is not an optimal route; and generating an exception notification based on the response from the driver of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
