Claim Text:
1. A method of determining a time to embark on an overall day's route determined by a navigation device, comprising: determining said overall day's route including each of a plurality of separate trips to different ending locations, each of said plurality of separate trips being separated in time over a day; determining an estimated total travel time of traversal for said overall day's route between a beginning geographic location of a first one of said plurality of separate trips, and an ending geographic location of a last one of said plurality of separate trips, based on an average of prior real time sampling of traffic patterns over an extended period of time, mapping data, and a future start time for embarking on said overall days route; prompting a best future start time for embarking on said overall day's route based on said average of real time sampling of traffic patterns over said extended period of time; and re-determining said estimated total travel time of traversal for said overall day's route, and update a map with future predictive traffic condition information, in response to said modification of said future start time.
