1. A method for predicting a final destination of a vehicle using a navigation system, the method comprising:
- acquiring a start location of the vehicle;
providing a predetermined waypoint distance from the start location;
determining a current waypoint location once the vehicle travels the predetermined waypoint distance;
receiving historical data from a database, including previous destinations associated with the current waypoint location; and
making a prediction at the current waypoint location of the final destination based on the historical data, wherein making the prediction is delayed until the predetermined waypoint distance is reached.

Abstract
A method for predicting a final destination of a vehicle comprises the steps of acquiring a start location of the vehicle, providing a predetermined waypoint distance from the start location, determining a current waypoint location once the vehicle travels the predetermined waypoint distance, receiving historical destination data from a database, including previous destinations associated with the current waypoint location. Then, making a prediction at the current waypoint location of the final destination based on the historical destination data.

11. A method for predicting a final driven distance of a vehicle to reach a final destination using a navigation system, the method comprising:
-
acquiring a start location of the vehicle; providing a predetermined waypoint distance from the start location; determining a current waypoint location once the vehicle travels the predetermined waypoint distance; receiving historical data from a database, including previous driven distances associated with the current waypoint location; and making a prediction at the current waypoint location of the final driven distance based on the historical data, wherein making the prediction is delayed until the predetermined waypoint distance is reached. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A navigation system for predicting at least one of a final destination and a final driven distance comprising:
-
a global positioning system device; a database for storing historical data and predetermined waypoint distance information; and a microprocessor in communication with the global positioning system device and the database; wherein the microprocessor; acquires a start location of the vehicle from the global positioning system device; acquires a predetermined waypoint distance from the database; determines a current waypoint location once the vehicle has traveled the predetermined waypoint distance; receives the historical destination and driven distance data from the database, the data includes previous destinations and driven distances associated with the current waypoint location; and at the current waypoint location, makes a prediction of at least one of the final destination and the final driven distance, based on the historical destination and driven distance data.
