Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: receiving a destination; generating a route to the destination; and generating a non-native dynamic navigation based on the route for displaying on a device.

Claims

1. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:

receiving a destination for representing a geographical location;

sharing an embedded navigation for driving to the destination using a device and a non-native dynamic navigation relative to the device;

wherein the embedded navigation is defined as an activation feature that invokes the non-native dynamic navigation,

generating a geographical route to the destination;

generating the non-native dynamic navigation with a control unit including a visual guidance and an audio guidance, based on the geographical route;

communicating the non-native dynamic navigation for a turn by turn navigation application using a web browser and the device and without installing the turn-by-turn navigation application on neither the web browser nor the device, the turn-by-turn navigation application for providing real-time guidance to a user along the geographical route to the destination;

detecting a deviation from the geographical route using a map matching to re-route from a new origin to the destination;

wherein generating the non-native dynamic navigation includes;

drawing the geographical route on a map view generated using a tile based scheme based on a map image and an image layer;

generating a current location by using a route matching based on the geographical route and a location watch threshold;

generating the visual guidance with heading up by rotating the map image based on the current location and, the geographical route; and

generating the visual guidance by using a simulated dead reckoning for a poor positioning service location based on the geographical route, advancing a previous location based on a driver or a road speed when the driver speed is not available over an elapsed time and the geographical route.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein generating the non-native dynamic navigation includes:

generating the audio guidance for the non-native dynamic navigation based on an audio rule, a timing rule, a current location, a map image and the geographical route;

updating an audio source multiple time by assigning the audio guidance frequently; and

prompting the audio guidance multiple of time by triggering the audio source ahead of time to navigate to the destination.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein sharing the embedded navigation includes:

generating a shared navigation based on a non-native dynamic navigator and the destination;

generating the embedded navigation by embedding the shared navigation in a sharing format or within an application; and

sharing the embedded navigation for driving to the destination using the non-native dynamic navigation.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein detecting the deviation from the geographical route includes:

generating a current location by using a route matching;

detecting an on-board deviation by monitoring the current location and the geographical route based on a map image and the geographical route;

detecting a deviation using a map matching based on the current location, a server map and the geographical route when the on-board deviation is detected; and

generating a new origin to re-route to the destination when the deviation is detected.

5. A navigation system comprising:

a control unit including one or more processors configured to;

receive a destination for representing a geographical location;

share an embedded navigation for driving to the destination using a device and a non-native dynamic navigation relative to the device;

wherein the embedded navigation is defined as an activation feature that invokes the non-native dynamic navigation,

generate a geographical route to the destination;

generate the non-native dynamic navigation based on the geographical route;

a communication unit including microelectronics, coupled to the control unit, configured to communicate the non-native dynamic navigation for providing a turn-by-turn navigation application using a web browser and the device without installing the turn-by-turn navigation application on neither the web browser nor the device, the turn-by-turn navigation application for providing real-time guidance to a user along the geographical route to the destination;

wherein the control unit is further configured to;

detect a deviation from the geographical route using a map matching to re-route from a new origin to the destination;

draw the geographical route on a map view generated using a tile based scheme based on a map image and an image layer;

generate a current location by using a route matching based on the geographical route and a location watch threshold;

generate the visual guidance with heading up by rotating the map image based on the current location and the geographical route, and generate the visual guidance by using a simulated dead reckoning for a poor positioning service location based on the geographical route, advancing a previous location based on a driver speed or a road speed when the driver speed is not available over an elapsed time and the geographical route.

6. The system as claimed in claim 5 wherein the control unit is configured to:

generate the audio guidance for the non-native dynamic navigation based on an audio rule, a timing rule, a current location, a map image and the geographical route;

update an audio source multiple time by assigning the audio guidance frequently; and

prompt the audio guidance multiple of time by triggering the audio source ahead of time to navigate to the destination.

7. The system as claimed in claim 5 wherein the control unit is configured to:

generate a shared navigation based on a non-native dynamic navigator and the destination together;

generate the embedded navigation by embedding the shared navigation in a sharing format or within an application; and

share the embedded navigation for driving to the destination using the non-native dynamic navigation.

8. The system as claimed in claim 5 wherein the control unit is configured to:

generate a current location by using a route matching and generating a new origin to re-route to the destination when a deviation is detected;

detect an on-board deviation by monitoring the current location and the geographical route based on a map image and the geographical route; and

detect the deviation using a map matching based on the current location, a server map and the geographical route when the on-board deviation is detected.
