Abstract
A method of providing a logging function in a portable navigation device and a portable device adapted to provide such a function are described. The method includes the step of storing location information relating to current position and time-specific information relating to a current position in a non-volatile memory of the device to create a log. The storage of such information only occurs when one of a specified set of events occurs, the set of events being specific to either a navigation mode or a free-driving mode of operation of the device.

17. A method of providing a logging function in a personal navigation device, the method comprising the steps of:
-
storing information relating to current position and time-specific information relating to said current position in a non-volatile memory of the device to create a log file, said step of storing occurring only when one of a specified set of events occurs, said set of events being at least one of;
user-specification of an spatial, temporal or device event, changing an activity between business and personal, reaching a destination, powering the device on and/or off, being stationary at a location for more than a predetermined time period, arriving at or departing from any favorite or recent location stored in the memory of the device, and arriving at or departing from any home location stored in the memory of the device; andreceiving a navigation mode or a free-driving mode of operation selection on the navigation device, wherein the selection causes an automatic storing of information related to an additional set of events specific to either the navigation mode or the free-driving mode that are different for each of the mode of operation. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A navigation device for providing a logging function, the navigation device comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor, the processor being arranged to store information relating to current position and time-specific information relating to said current position in a non-volatile memory of the device to create a log file, said step of storing occurring only when one of a specified set of events occurs, said set of events being at least one of;
user-specification of an spatial, temporal or device event, changing an activity between business and personal, reaching a destination, powering the device on and/or off, being stationary at a location for more than a predetermined time period, arriving at or departing from any favorite or recent location stored in the memory of the device, and arriving at or departing from any home location stored in the memory of the device; andreceive a navigation mode or a free-driving mode of operation selection on the navigation device, wherein the selection causes an automatic storing of information related to an additional set of events specific to either the navigation mode or the free-driving mode that are different for each of the mode of operation. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
