1. A method for transferring location information, comprising:
- receiving a network address book comprising the location information by a communication vehicle device via a wireless network from a television, wherein the location information is in the network address book, wherein the network address book is stored on a different network, and wherein the communication vehicle device is installed in a vehicle;
parsing the location information;
determining by the communication vehicle device in the vehicle whether the location information received from the television is in a proper format for a navigation device;
the communication vehicle device determining that the location information is received in the proper format from the television, responsive to the television converting the location information into the proper format for the navigation device;
in response to determining that the location information is not in the proper format by the communication vehicle device, converting by the communication vehicle device the location information into the proper format for the navigation device; and
transmitting by the communication vehicle device the location information to the navigation device installed in the vehicle via an other network, wherein the navigation device is capable of receiving communications over the other network.

8. An apparatus for transferring location information to a navigation device, the apparatus comprising:
-
a communication vehicle device including; memory for storing a conversion application; an input and output component for respectively receiving and transmitting communications, wherein the input and output component of the communication vehicle device receives a network address book comprising the location information from a television over a wireless network, wherein the location information is in the network address book, wherein the network address book is stored on a different network, and wherein the communication vehicle device is installed in a vehicle; and a processor, functionally coupled to the memory, the processor being responsive to computer-executable instructions contained in the conversion application and operative to; parse the location information received by the communication vehicle device, determine whether the location information received by the communication vehicle device from the television is in a proper format for the navigation device, wherein the processor determines that the location information is received in the proper format from the television, responsive to the television converting the location information into the proper format for the navigation device, and in response to the location information not being in the proper format, convert the location information into the proper format for the navigation device, wherein the communication vehicle device is operatively connected to the navigation device installed in the vehicle via an other network, and transfers the location information to the navigation device via the other network. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
