NAVIGATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A electronic device for providing navigation information for a driver of a vehicle, the device comprising:
- a location unit for determining geographical location data based on satellite signals;
at least one sensor configured to acquire environmental data from the environment of the electronic device, wherein the at least one sensor comprises a sound sensor;
a navigation processor, coupled to the at least one sensor and the location unit, wherein the navigation processor is arranged forobtaining destination data,determining route data based on the geographical location data, the destination data and map data,calculating the navigation information based on the route data, andgenerating navigation assistance information related to the route information and based on sound data as detected via the sound sensor.

Abstract
An electronic device is for providing navigation information for a driver of a vehicle. The device has a location unit for determining geographical location data based on satellite signals, a navigation processor coupled to at least one sensor comprising a sound sensor. The navigation processor is arranged for obtaining destination data, determining route data based on the geographical location data, the destination data and map data. The navigation information is calculated based on the route data. Subsequently, navigation assistance information is generated related to the route information and based on sound data as detected via the sound sensor. Advantageously, by using environmental sound, the navigation may be improved, because additional data and corrections of driver activity can be early generated based on the sound data.
