System for interaction of navigation and connectivity applications and personal information management applications
First Claim
1. A method of navigation to a location comprising:
- initiating a navigation system of a portable electronic device, the portable electronic device comprising a processor and a memory including a contact application storing contacts, and wherein the contacts have attached location information corresponding to the contacts, wherein the processor causes the portable electronic device to;
during use of the navigation system, receive an indication relating to location information for a particular contact of the contact application when the portable electronic device comes into a predetermined range of the location information for the particular contact, wherein the indication contains the location information attached to the particular contact of the contact application;
display the location information attached to the particular contact of the contact application on a map of the navigation system; and
initiate a navigation process of the navigation system to the displayed location information corresponding to the particular contact of the contact application.
