1. A navigation apparatus comprising:
- a processing resource operably coupled to a receiver for location-related data and arranged to perform location determination, the processing resource supporting a parking location determination module and an inference engine operably coupled to a database;
wherein the parking location determination module is arranged to determine when the location determined is substantially unchanged and to determine that the location determined constitutes a candidate parking location in response to the location determined remaining substantially unchanged for a predetermined period of time or more than the predetermined period of time, andwherein the inference engine is arranged to access the database to determine whether the candidate parking location is a valid or known candidate parking location.

Abstract
A navigation apparatus (200) comprises a processing resource (202) operably coupled to a receiver (224) for location-related data and arranged to perform, when in use, location determination. The processing resource (202) supports a parking location determination module (266). The parking location determination module (266) is arranged to determine when the location determined is substantially unchanged and to determine that the location determined constitutes a candidate parking location in response to the location determined remaining substantially unchanged relative to a predetermined period of time.

14. A method of collecting parking location information, the method comprising:
-
analysing location data relating to change of location of a navigation apparatus with time; determining when a location of the navigation apparatus is substantially unchanged; determining that the location determined constitutes a candidate parking location in response to the location determined remaining substantially unchanged for a predetermined period of time or more than the predetermined period of time; and determining whether the candidate parking location is a valid or known candidate parking location. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
