Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: generating a travel route having a business location for displaying on a device; calculating a current location along the travel route; identifying a travel segment with the current location; calculating a travel distance for the travel segment; and verifying the travel distance based on where the business location is within the travel segment.

Claims

1. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:

generating a travel route having a business location for displaying on a device;

calculating a current location along the travel route with a control unit;

identifying a travel segment with the current location;

capturing a travel distance for the travel segment;

verifying the travel distance captured based on where the business location is within the travel segment; and

correcting the travel distance captured based on modifying a beginning and an end of the travel segment based on a location traversed on the travel route.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein identifying the travel segment with the current location includes identifying a segment designation as business for the travel segment when the business location is at the beginning or at the end of the travel segment.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein identifying the travel segment with the current location includes identifying a segment designation as non-business for the travel segment when the business location is not at the beginning or at the end of the travel segment.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein capturing the travel distance for the travel segment includes:

commencing a single capture of the travel distance with the current location has not yet reached the business location; and

correcting the travel distance by modifying a start of the single capture with the business location at the end of the travel segment.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein capturing the travel distance for the travel segment includes:

commencing a single capture of the travel distance; and

terminating the single capture of the travel distance when the business location is at the end of the travel segment.

6. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:

generating a travel route having a business location for displaying on a device;

calculating a current location along the travel route with a control unit;

identifying a travel segment with the current location with the travel segment having a travel distance;

commencing a single capture of the travel distance with the single capture invoke after the current location reached and continued from the business location;

correcting the travel distance by modifying a start of the single capture with the business location at a beginning of the travel segment; and

verifying the travel distance based on where the business location is within the travel segment.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein verifying the travel distance based on where the business location is within the travel segment includes:

determining the business location is not at the beginning or at an end of the travel segment; and

adjusting the travel segment to match the business location at the beginning or at the end of the travel segment.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein identifying the travel segment with the current location includes:

identifying an appointment location, which is non-business, closest to the current location; and

identifying a segment designation as non-business for the travel segment when the business location is not at the beginning or at an end of the travel segment.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising terminating the single capture of the travel distance at an end of the travel segment.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising terminating the single capture of the travel distance at an end of the travel route.

11. A navigation system comprising:

a create route module for generating a travel route having a business location for displaying on a device;

a current location module, coupled to the create route module, for calculating a current location along the travel with a control unit;

a segment module, coupled to the current location module, for identifying a travel segment with the current location;

a calculate distance module, coupled to the segment module, for capturing a travel distance for the travel segment;

a verify module, coupled to the calculate distance module, for verifying the travel distance captured based on where the business location is within the travel segment; and

a commence module, coupled to the verify module, for correcting the travel distance captured based on modifying a beginning and an end of the travel segment based on a location traversed on the travel route.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the designation module is for identifying a segment designation as business for the travel segment when the business location is at the end of the travel segment.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the designation module is for identifying a segment designation as non-business for the travel segment when the business location is not at the beginning or at the end of the travel segment.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the calculate distance module is for commencing a single capture of the travel distance with the current location has not yet reached the business location and includes:

the commence module for correcting the travel distance by modifying a start of the single capture with the business location at the end of the travel segment.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the calculate distance module includes:

the commence module, coupled to the segment module, for commencing a single capture of the travel distance; and

a terminate module, coupled to the commence module, for terminating the single capture of the travel distance when the business location is at the end of the travel segment.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the calculate distance module is for commencing the single capture of the travel distance with the single capture invoke after the current location reached and continued from the business location and includes:

the commence module for correcting the travel distance by modifying a start of the single capture with the business location at the beginning of the travel segment.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein:

the verify module is for determining the business location is not at the beginning or at the end of the travel segment; and

the calculate distance module is for adjusting the travel segment to match the business location at the beginning or at the end of the travel segment.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising:

an identify appointment module, coupled to the segment module, for identifying an appointment location, which is non-business, closest to the current location; and

wherein;

the segment module is for identifying the segment designation as non-business for the travel segment when the business location is not at the beginning or at the end of the travel segment.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the calculate distance module includes a terminate module for terminating the single capture of the travel distance at the end of the travel segment.

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the calculate distance module includes a terminate module for terminating the single capture of the travel distance at the end of the travel route.
