    sending the first tour that includes at least the first waypoint and the second waypoint to the navigation device;

    receiving from one of the calendar and the user profile a change to one of the availability information and the user profile information;

    in response to the change and without user input, determining a second tour that includes the first waypoint and the second waypoint arranged in a second sequence that is different from the first sequence and is based on the change;
