TL;DR: In this paper, an improved system and procedure for allowing a user to post a route to another mobile user or to himself is presented. But the route can be displayed on a map, in text, or audibly broadcast.
Abstract: An improved system and procedure for allowing a user to post a route to another mobile user or to himself. In one embodiment, a user in a vehicle (26a) engages his user interface (51) to record and transmit the traveled route to a second user in a second vehicle (26b) or to himself at a later time. The recipient receives the route in accordance with his user ID and other parameters specified or messages left by the initiating user. The route can be displayed on a map, in text, or audibly broadcast. In an alternative embodiment, the route can be left by a non-mobile user for the benefit of a mobile user using, for example, a home computer.

TL;DR: In this article, predicted traffic information is associated with each of at least one link within any one of a plurality of predefined areas based on a time at which a vehicle traveling the route is expected to arrive within that predefined area.
Abstract: A navigation apparatus (10) searches for a route from a starting point to a destination wherein, predicted traffic information is associated with each of at least one links within any one of a plurality of predefined areas based on a time at which, according to the predicted traffic information, a vehicle traveling the route is expected to arrive within that predefined area.

TL;DR: In this paper, a route guidance apparatus of a personal navigation terminal is described, which includes a road structure information storage unit for storing information related to road structures, a user preference information storage device for storing at least one road structure preference representing a preference of a user for the road structures and a controller for determining a current location of the personal navigation terminals, computing routes to a destination from the current location, and selecting a user-preferred route preferred by a user from among the routes based on the at least road structures preference.
Abstract: Disclosed is a route guidance apparatus of a personal navigation terminal, which includes a road structure information storage unit for storing information related to road structures, a user preference information storage unit for storing at least one road structure preference representing a preference of a user for the road structures, and a controller for determining a current location of the personal navigation terminal, computing routes to a destination from the current location, and selecting a user-preferred route preferred by a user from among the routes based on the at least one road structure preference In the route guidance apparatus, a personal navigation terminal displays routes based on user preferences reflecting user characteristics instead of simply displaying the shortest route, thereby causing a user to take a proper route according to one's own characteristics and degree of fatigue

TL;DR: In this article, a vehicle navigation system and method consisting of a navigation apparatus transmitting a current position of a vehicle and a target destination of the vehicle, and a base station receiving the current position and the target destination, searching a route information from the current location to the target location, and transmitting the route information to the navigation apparatus.
Abstract: A vehicle navigation system and method in the present invention comprises a navigation apparatus transmitting a current position of a vehicle and a target destination of the vehicle, and a base station receiving the current position and the target destination, searching a route information from the current position to the target destination, and transmitting the route information to the navigation apparatus. The base station includes an information storage section storing added information with regard to road features, a route searching section searching the added route information from the information storage section, a transmitting section transmitting the route information to the navigation apparatus and then transmitting the added information to the navigation apparatus. The navigation apparatus displays the route information and the added route information each of which is transmitted from the base station.

TL;DR: Two smartphone-based virtual navigation interfaces are presented: VirtualLeap, which allows the user to jump through a sequence of street intersection labels, turn-by-turn instructions and POIs along the route; and VirtualWalk, which simulates variable speed step-by -step walking using audio effects, whilst conveying similar route information.
Abstract: When preparing to visit new locations, sighted people often look at maps to build an a priori mental representation of the environment as a sequence of step-by-step actions and points of interest (POIs), e.g., turn right after the coffee shop. Based on this observation, we would like to understand if building the same type of sequential representation, prior to navigating in a new location, is helpful for people with visual impairments (VI). In particular, our goal is to understand how the simultaneous interplay between turn-by-turn navigation instructions and the relevant POIs in the route can aid the creation of a memorable sequential representation of the world. To this end, we present two smartphone-based virtual navigation interfaces: VirtualLeap, which allows the user to jump through a sequence of street intersection labels, turn-by-turn instructions and POIs along the route; and VirtualWalk, which simulates variable speed step-by-step walking using audio effects, whilst conveying similar route information. In a user study with 14 VI participants, most were able to create and maintain an accurate mental representation of both the sequential structure of the route and the approximate locations of the POIs. While both virtual navigation modalities resulted in similar spatial understanding, results suggests that each method is useful in different interaction contexts.
