Method and apparatus for point of interest evaluation
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a processor configured to;
receive user-input into a vehicle computing system defining two points of interest (POI)s;
search for a first POI in first proximity to a current route saved in the vehicle computing system;
subsequent to the first POI search, for each of a plurality of found first POIs, automatically search for a second POI in second, user-input, via the vehicle system, proximity to the first POI;
output, on a vehicle display, instances wherein the second POI is found to be in second proximity to the first POI; and
wherein the output is limited to instances wherein each of the POIs is within second proximity to a point central to at least two of the other POIs from the plurality of POIs.

Abstract
A system includes a navigation device and a processor in communication with the navigation device and an output. The processor is configured to receive a plurality of POIs. The processor is also configured to search for at least a first of the POIs in first proximity to a route in the navigation device. Further, the processor is configured to, subsequent to the search for a first POI in first proximity, for each instance of the first POI in first proximity to the route, search for at least a second of the POIs in second proximity to the first POI. The processor is also configured to output any instances wherein each of the POIs are found to be in second proximity to at least one of the other POIs of the plurality of POIs.

6. A system comprising:
-
a processor, configured to; receive user-input, into a vehicle system, corresponding to two points of interest (POI)s, search within a first proximity of a current route, saved in the vehicle system, for both of the input POIs, output, via a vehicle display, a plurality of instances wherein both POIs are within a second, user-input proximity to each other and at least one of the POIs is within first proximity of the known route, and wherein the output is limited to instances wherein each of the POIs is within second proximity to a point central to at least two of the other POIs from the plurality of POIs. - View Dependent Claims (7)

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
searching for at least a first of two user-input POIs, input using a vehicle computing system, in first proximity to a current route, saved in the vehicle computing system, utilizing a vehicle computing system; subsequent to searching for a first POI, for each of a plurality of instances of a found first POI, automatically searching, using the vehicle computing system, for a second POI in second, user-input proximity to the first POI; outputting instances on a vehicle display wherein the second POI is in second proximity to the first POI; and wherein the output is limited to instances wherein each of the POIs is within second proximity to a point central to at least two of the other POIs from the plurality of POIs. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
