System and method for sending destination locations to navigation devices
First Claim
1. A method for instructing a navigation device comprising:
- providing an interface comprising an option for determining a location of a computing device;
generating a destination location of the computing device in response to activation of the interface and by the computing device automatically acquiring its street address from a satellite navigation system;
the computing device sending the destination location comprising the street address of the computing device to the server; and
wirelessly transmitting the destination location from the server to the navigation device.

Abstract
A navigation device receives a destination location to automatically calculate a route to the destination location over a wireless network. The destination location may be generated by a third party at a remote computer or wireless device. The destination location may be entered into the remote computer or wireless device, or may be automatically generated by the device. The destination location is transmitted from the remote computer or wireless device to the navigation device. Once received, the user of the navigation device may have the option of accepting or rejecting the destination location. The navigation device then uses the destination location to calculate a route which is communicated to the user with minimal to no user interaction. Multiple destinations may be sent to the navigation device, thus allowing advanced programming of an entire trip.
