Navigation systems and vehicles for providing traffic information pertaining to pre-defined locations of interest
First Claim
1. A navigation system for providing traffic information, the navigation system comprising:
- one or more processors;
a display communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
a first pre-defined location of interest stored in the one or more memory modules; and
machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules that cause the navigation system to perform at least the following when executed by the one or more processors;
present, automatically, a traffic location selection input control on the display, wherein the traffic location selection input control comprises a first traffic location icon associated with the first pre-defined location of interest;
detect a tactile input indicative of a selection of the first traffic location icon; and
provide, automatically, traffic information pertaining to the first pre-defined location of interest on the display in response to detecting the tactile input indicative of the selection of the first traffic location icon.

Abstract
Navigation systems and vehicles for providing traffic information pertaining to pre-defined locations of interest are provided. A navigation system or a vehicle may present a traffic location input control on a display of the navigation system or vehicle, detect a tactile input indicative of a selection of a traffic location icon shown on the display, and automatically provide traffic information pertaining to a location of interest associated with the selected traffic location icon. A navigation system or a vehicle may determine a route between a current position and the farther of a first pre-defined location of interest and a second pre-defined location of interest, provide traffic information pertaining to the determined route, and deactivate turn-by-turn navigation.

9. A navigation system for providing traffic information, the navigation system comprising:
-
one or more processors; a display communicatively coupled to the one or more processors; a satellite antenna communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the satellite antenna receives a signal from one or more global positioning system satellites; one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors; a first pre-defined location of interest and a second pre-defined location of interest stored in the one or more memory modules; and machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules that cause the navigation system to perform at least the following when executed by the one or more processors; transform the signal from the one or more global positioning system satellites into a current position of the navigation system; calculate, automatically, a first distance from the first pre-defined location of interest to the current position; calculate, automatically, a second distance from the second pre-defined location of interest to the current position; compare, automatically, the first distance and the second distance to determine whether the first pre-defined location of interest or the second pre-defined location of interest is farther from the current position; determine, automatically, a route between the current position and the farther of the first pre-defined location of interest and the second pre-defined location of interest; provide traffic information pertaining to the determined route; and deactivate turn-by-turn navigation. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A vehicle for providing traffic information, the vehicle comprising:
-
one or more processors; a display communicatively coupled to the one or more processors; a satellite antenna communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the satellite antenna receives a signal from one or more global positioning system satellites; one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors; a home location and a work location stored in the one or more memory modules; and machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules that cause the vehicle to perform at least the following when executed by the one or more processors; present, automatically, a commute icon on the display, wherein the commute icon is associated with the home location and the work location; detect a tactile input indicative of a selection of the commute icon; transform the signal from the one or more global positioning system satellites into a current position of the navigation system; calculate, automatically, a first distance from the home location to the current position; calculate, automatically, a second distance from the work location to the current position; compare, automatically, the first distance and the second distance to determine whether the home location or the work location is farther from the current position; determine, automatically, a route between the current position and the farther of the home location and the work location; provide traffic information pertaining to the determined route; and deactivate turn-by-turn navigation.
