1. A method of displaying navigation information in a navigation system on a motor vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- receiving at least one route preference associated with determining a candidate route at a central unit associated with the navigation system disposed on-board the motor vehicle;
receiving a ranking associated with a plurality of candidate routes at the central unit;
requesting, by the central unit, navigation information associated with the plurality of candidate routes to a first destination;
receiving a plurality of determined candidate routes to the first destination routes at the central unit;
detecting at least one vehicle operating condition of the motor vehicle by one or more sensors disposed in the motor vehicle;
the central unit further performing the steps of;
determining a vehicle state associated with the detected vehicle operating condition, wherein the vehicle state is one of a moving state and a stationary state of the motor vehicle;
displaying the determined candidate routes in a preselected order determined by the received ranking on a display device disposed in the motor vehicle;
displaying a different number of the candidate routes on the display device based on the determined vehicle state;
wherein, upon determination of a first vehicle state associated with the stationary state by the central unit, all of the received plurality of determined candidate routes are displayed on the display device, and wherein the method further comprises receiving a selection of one of the received plurality of determined candidate routes displayed on the display device and displaying navigation information to the first destination associated with the selected one of the determined candidate routes on the display device; and
wherein, upon determination of a second vehicle state associated with the moving state by the central unit, only a first ranked determined candidate route is displayed on the display device, and wherein the method further comprises automatically displaying only navigation information to the first destination associated with the first ranked determined candidate route on the display device without any selection by a user.

Abstract
A user selects route preferences related to weighing or considering different factors when determining a requested candidate route to a destination and chooses a candidate route ranking. A motor vehicle detects a condition associated with a vehicle state. The motor vehicle displays the candidate route based on the detected vehicle condition in a preselected order determined by the route ranking.

7. A method of displaying a route on a display device of a navigation system in a motor vehicle, comprising the steps of:
-
requesting, from a central unit associated with the navigation system disposed on-board the motor vehicle, navigation information associated with multiple candidate routes from a current location of a motor vehicle to a destination; receiving a ranking associated with the multiple candidate routes from a user at the central unit; receiving the navigational information associated with the multiple candidate routes from a remote location by the central unit; ordering, by the central unit, the received multiple candidate routes in a preselected order according to the ranking, wherein a first ranked candidate route is ranked higher than a second ranked candidate route; receiving a signal associated with at least one vehicle condition of the motor vehicle from a sensor at the central unit; the central unit further performing the steps of; determining a vehicle state based on the received signal, wherein the vehicle state is one of a moving state and a stationary state of the motor vehicle; displaying the received multiple candidate routes on a display device associated with the navigation system in the preselected order; displaying a different number of the received candidate routes on the display device based on the determined vehicle state; wherein when a first vehicle state associated with the stationary state of the motor vehicle is determined by the central unit, the first ranked candidate route and the second ranked candidate route are displayed on the display device, and wherein navigation information according to one of the first ranked candidate route and the second ranked candidate route is displayed upon selection of either the first ranked candidate route or the second ranked candidate route; and wherein when a second vehicle state associated with the moving state of the motor vehicle is determined by the central unit, navigation information according to the first ranked candidate route is automatically displayed on the display device without any selection of a candidate route by a user of the motor vehicle, and any remaining candidate routes are not displayed on the display device. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A navigation system for a motor vehicle, the system comprising:
-
a communication system in communication with a remote location, the communication system receiving a plurality of candidate routes from a current location of the motor vehicle to a destination from the remote location; an input device, the input device receiving a ranking for each of the plurality of candidate routes; a display device, the display device displaying the plurality of candidate routes in a preselected order determined by the received ranking; at least one sensor associated with an operating condition of the motor vehicle; a central unit comprising a processor, the central unit in communication with the communication system, the input device, the display device, and the at least one sensor; wherein the central unit determines a vehicle state associated with a detected operating condition received from the at least one sensor, wherein the vehicle state is one of a moving state and a stationary state of the motor vehicle; wherein the central unit is configured to display a different number of candidate routes on the display device based on the determined vehicle state; wherein the display device includes a first view displaying all of the plurality of candidate routes when a first vehicle state associated with the stationary state of the motor vehicle is determined by the central unit, and wherein directions to the destination according to one of the plurality of candidate routes are displayed on the display device only upon selection of one of the plurality of candidate routes; and wherein the display device includes a second view displaying only a first ranked candidate route when a second vehicle state associated with the moving state of the motor vehicle is determined by the central unit, and wherein directions to the destination according to the first ranked candidate route are automatically displayed on the display device without a selection by a user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
