First Claim
1. A method of identifying a location of interest between a user and an identified endpoint, comprising:
- creating a user preference profile containing at least one location of interest to the user;
designating, by a navigation unit, a sampling bandwidth based on the user'"'"'s current distance to the identified endpoint, wherein the navigation unit dynamically expands the sampling bandwidth as the user approaches within a predetermined distance of the identified endpoint;
selecting, by the navigation unit, at least one user preference profile location of interest within the sampling bandwidth that is between the user and the identified endpoint;
computing a sampling vector for the at least one location of interest within the sampling bandwidth; and
alerting the user to the sampling vector for the at least one location of interest within the sampling bandwidth.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method and system for identifying a location of interest between a user and an identified endpoint and creating a user preference profile containing at least one location of interest to the user. A sampling bandwidth is designated based on current distance to the identified endpoint, wherein the navigation unit dynamically expands the sampling bandwidth as the user approaches within a predetermined distance of the endpoint. At least one user preference profile location of interest is selected that is within the sampling bandwidth that is between the user and the indentified endpoint. A sampling vector is computed for the at least one location of interest within the sampling bandwidth, and the user is alerted to the sampling vector for the at least one location of interest within the sampling bandwidth.

11. A method of identifying a location of interest between a user and an identified endpoint, comprising:
-
receiving a user preference profile containing at least one location of interest to the user; designating, by a navigation unit, a sampling bandwidth based on the user'"'"'s current distance to the identified endpoint, wherein the navigation unit dynamically expands the sampling bandwidth as the user approaches within a predetermined distance of the identified endpoint; receiving a signal including at least one user preference profile location of interest within the sampling bandwidth that is between the user and the identified endpoint; receiving a computed sampling vector for one or more of the at least one locations of interest within the sampling bandwidth; and alerting the user to the sampling vector for the at least one location of interest within the sampling bandwidth. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A motor vehicle navigation system, comprising:
-
a navigation unit connected to a motor vehicle, the navigation unit containing a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores data for implementing; creating a user preference profile containing at least one location of interest to the user; designating, by the navigation unit, a sampling bandwidth based on the user'"'"'s current distance to an identified endpoint, wherein the navigation unit dynamically expands the sampling bandwidth as the user approaches within a predetermined distance of the identified endpoint; selecting, by the navigation unit, at least one user preference profile of interest within the sampling bandwidth that is between the user and the identified endpoint; computing a sampling vector for one or more, of the at least one locations of interest within the sampling bandwidth; and alerting the user to the sampling vector for the at least one location of interest within the sampling bandwidth.
