摘要： A method for customizing a selected one of a plurality of customizable vehicle features on a vehicle equipped with an onboard processor and a user interface including a display and a first plurality of user input controls. The method comprises displaying on the display a vehicle feature menu and scrolling therethrough with a first one of the plurality of user input controls. A vehicle feature mode menu is displayed on the display and is scrolled through with a first of the plurality of user input controls. The second one of the plurality of user input controls is utilized to navigate from the vehicle feature menu to the vehicle feature mode menu.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for generating route instructions on a turn-by-turn navigation system in a vehicle. Turn instructions can include a turn icon as well as visual and audio prompts. The turn-by-turn navigation system includes special routing features, such as “Where am I”, “Verification”, “Stop by”, pre-set destinations, and time-restricted road routing. The turn-by-turn navigation system can generally be produced more economically than a typical premium system having a full complement of costly features, such as a color map display. Moreover, the turn-by-turn navigation system can be configured with only those features deemed most useful to a broad-based market segment, in order to further reduce manufacturing costs.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for organizing pre-recorded digital compressed audio files for convenient playback on a device installed in a moving vehicle. The apparatus comprises a scanning function that orders the files into categories, such as “Artist” and “Album”, which are each linked to an index of their associated tracks. The indexing scheme provides a user, such as the driver of an automobile, an intuitive method of finding a desired track with minimal distraction.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for generating turn instructions on a turn-by-turn navigation system. The turn instructions can include a turn icon as well as visual and audio prompts. A countdown bar is typically embedded within the turn icon to provide upcoming turn information in intuitive graphic form, in order to reduce driver distraction. The turn-by-turn navigation system can generally be produced more economically than a typical premium system having a full complement of costly features, such as a color map display. Moreover, the turn-by-turn navigation system can be configured with only those features deemed most useful to a broad-based market segment, in order to further reduce manufacturing costs.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for generating route instructions on a turn-by-turn navigation system in a vehicle. Turn instructions can include a turn icon as well as visual and audio prompts. The turn-by-turn navigation system typically includes a dual-use disk changer configured for both audio and Map/POI disk access. Separate Map and POI database disks are typically installed in dedicated slots of the disk changer and are designed to minimize switching time, while audio disks can be installed in the remaining slots. Moreover, audio playback buffering can be employed to enable audio-to-navigation-to-audio disk switching without interrupting audio playback. The turn-by-turn navigation system can generally be produced more economically than a typical premium system with a full complement of costly features, such as a color map display, since the turn-by-turn navigation system can be configured with only those features deemed most useful to a broad-based market segment.
