1. A method of presenting contextual weather information with respect to a predetermined route of a vehicle, said method comprising:
- receiving routing data for the vehicle;
receiving weather data for an area;
automatically integrating the routing data with the weather data to generate contextual weather information;
presenting the contextual weather information with respect to a predetermined route of the vehicle;
presenting a route timeline with respect to a predetermined route of the vehicle, wherein the route timeline includes a first time indicator representative of a first time, wherein the vehicle is at a first position associated with a first time and a ghost time indicator representative of a second time, and wherein the ghost time indicator is movable along the route timeline to represent a relative time with respect to the first time;
presenting a timer indicating a time associated with the ghost time indicator as the ghost time indicator moves along the route timeline; and
displaying a first icon of the vehicle at the first position associated with the first time while simultaneously displaying a ghost icon of the vehicle at a second position associated with the second time in response to a user input that moves the ghost time indicator along the presented route timeline to the second time, wherein the first time indicator is different from the first icon and the ghost time indicator is different from the ghost icon.

9. A server for presenting contextual weather information with respect to a predetermined route of a vehicle, said server comprising a memory device and a processor coupled to the memory device, said server programmed to:
-
receive routing data for the vehicle; receive weather data for an area; integrate the routing data with the weather data to generate contextual weather information; present the contextual weather information with respect to a predetermined route of the vehicle; present a route timeline with respect to a predetermined route of the vehicle, wherein the route timeline includes a first time indicator representative of a first time, wherein the vehicle is at a first position associated with a first time and a ghost time indicator representative of a second time, and wherein the ghost time indicator is movable along the route timeline to represent a relative time with respect to the first time; present a timer indicating a time associated with the ghost time indicator as the ghost time indicator moves along the route timeline; and display a first icon of the vehicle at the first position associated with the first time while simultaneously displaying a ghost icon of the vehicle at a second position associated with the second time in response to a user input that moves the ghost time indicator along the presented route timeline to the second time, wherein the first time indicator is different from the first icon and the ghost time indicator is different from the ghost icon. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for presenting contextual weather information with respect to a predetermined route of a vehicle, said system comprising:
-
a sensor configured to detect an atmospheric condition; and a server comprising a memory device and a processor coupled to the memory device, said server programmed to; receive routing data for the vehicle; receive weather data for an area, the weather data including the atmospheric condition detected by the sensor; integrate the routing data with the weather data to generate contextual weather information; present the contextual weather information with respect to a predetermined route of the vehicle; present a route timeline with respect to a predetermined route of the vehicle, wherein the route timeline includes a first time indicator representative of a first time, wherein the vehicle is at a first position associated with a first time and a ghost time indicator representative of a second time, and wherein the ghost time indicator is movable along the route timeline to represent a relative time with respect to the first time; present a timer indicating a time associated with the ghost time indicator as the ghost time indicator moves along the route timeline; and display a first icon of the vehicle at the first position associated with the first time while simultaneously displaying a ghost icon of the vehicle at a second position associated with the second time in response to a user input that moves the ghost time indicator along the presented route timeline to the second time, wherein the first time indicator is different from the first icon and the ghost time indicator is different from the ghost icon. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
