Computing navigation device with enhanced route directions view
First Claim
1. A system for enhancing a computing navigation device route directions view, comprising:
- a computing navigation device configured to;
execute a route module, the route module configured to identify a route for travel, the route including one or more geographic locations along the route;
execute a graphical user interface including a settings interface configured to receive a user selected extended data parameter to selectively download media that have been captured under a selected predetermined condition;
execute a media module, the media module configured to send a request to a media service via a computer network, the request comprising the user selected extended parameter and one or more of coordinates and cardinal direction of the geographic locations of the route, and the media module being further configured to receive, responsive to the request, media from the media service, wherein each media includes associated geographic information indicating that the media relates to the one or more geographic locations, and wherein at least some of the media at the media service includes metadata to identify the media as having been captured under predetermined conditions at the one or more geographic locations, wherein the metadata identifies the media as being one or more extended data types being selected from the group consisting of weather information, traffic conditions, road conditions, time, date, day, and night; and
execute a map module, the map module being configured to contact a map service via the computer network and download a map and one or more graphical elements from the map service indicative of the route for travel,wherein the graphical user interface module is further configured to display the media in a route directions view of the graphical user interface in response to a user input to display the media.

Abstract
Systems, methods and a graphical user interface are provided for enhancing a computing navigation device route directions view. A system is disclosed including a computing navigation device configured to identify a route for travel. The route includes one or more geographic locations along the route. The computing navigation device is further configured to receive media from a media service via a computer network, wherein each media includes associated geographic information indicating that the media relates to the one or more geographic locations. The computing navigation device is further configured to display the media in a route directions view of a graphical user interface.

7. A method for enhancing a computing navigation device route directions view comprising:
-
sending, a route request to a map service via a computer network for a planned route from a user input starting point to a user input destination point; receiving, responsive to the route request, a route for travel, the route including one or more geographic locations along the route; receiving a user selected extended data parameter for selecting one or more extended data types, wherein the extended data types are selected from the group consisting of weather information, traffic conditions, road conditions, time, date, day, and night; sending a request to a media service via the computer network, the request comprising the user selected data parameter and one or more of coordinates and cardinal direction of the geographic locations of the route; receiving, responsive to the request, media corresponding to the geographic locations along the route, from the media service via the computer network, wherein each media includes associated geographic information indicating that the media relates to one or more of the geographic locations; displaying one or more route elements for traveling to the geographic locations along the route; and displaying the media associated with the geographic locations in a graphical user interface in response to a user input to display the media. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
