Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to determine a navigation instruction execution location within a predefined distance from a vehicle location. The processor is also configured to communicate with a wireless transceiver to receive information identifying an intervening turn-option location, between the execution location and vehicle location. The processor is further configured to determine a distance between the vehicle location and turn-option location and display the determined distance on a navigation display, until the vehicle passes the turn-option location.

Abstract: A telematics control unit (TCU) receives a short message service (SMS) message from a phone number of a mobile device and identifies an updated network address of the mobile device from the message. The TCU sends the updated network address of the mobile device to a packet data network (PDN) server configured to route data traffic between the network address of the mobile device and the vehicle. The PDN server communicates over a data network with a telematics control unit (TCU) of a vehicle and maintains a list of identification numbers of mobile devices and corresponding network addresses of the mobile devices for the TCU. The PDN server receives an updated network address associated with an identification number of a mobile device from the TCU; and updates the list with the updated network address of the mobile device.

Abstract: Delivering software updates is provided. An update server in communication with an Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) transmitter and with a cellular network broadcasts a probe message to a plurality of vehicles. The update server receives probe results from the plurality of vehicles, responsive to the broadcasting. The update server analyzes the probe results to determine software updates to send to the plurality of vehicles. The update server generates an aggregate common package including the software updates in common with at least a subset of the plurality of vehicles. The update server, sends using the ATSC transmitter, the aggregate common package to the plurality of vehicles. The update server sends, over the cellular network, any remaining portion of the software updates not included in the aggregate common package to the plurality of vehicles.

Abstract: Managing vehicle application usage of computing resources is provided. A request for computing resources of a communications network is received from a vehicle application installed to a vehicle. An access point name (APN) is assigned to the vehicle application based on an application identifier corresponding to the vehicle application by accessing stored APN information including a mapping of application identifiers to corresponding APNs. The computing resources are accessed by the vehicle application connecting to the communications network using the APN.
