1. A system, comprising:
- a radio recevier having a group of radio station presets;
a location acquisition unit configured to obtain location data;
at least one input device configured to input groups of radio station frequency data;
a memory configured to store a calculated route, data indicative of boundaries defining a plurality of discrete geographic regions located along said calculated route, and the groups of radio station frequency data as a plurality of groups of radio station frequency preset data, each group of radio station frequency preset data associated with one geographic region of the plurality of discrete geographic regions located along the calculated route; and
at least one controller configured to monitor the location data from the location acquisition unit, select a group of radio station frequency preset data based on current location data obtained from the location acquisition unit, and assign said group of radio station frequency preset data to the group of radio station presets.

Abstract
An entertainment systems having enhanced functionally and methods therefor are provided. Embodiments of the system allow an operator to assign multiple groups of radio stations to the radio station presets of the system according to different geographical regions located along a calculated route. As the system travels along the calculated route, the radio station presets of the system are updated to correspond to the present location of the system.
