Abstract:
1. A method for navigation in a mobile device integrated with phone functions so that the mobile device makes or receives calls, the method comprising: receiving wireless signals; determining a current location of the mobile device from the received wireless signals; displaying on a local map the current location of the mobile device determined from the wireless signals, the local map being generated from a mapping database in the mobile device; accepting an inquiry from a user for a destination; communicating wirelessly with a server; sending the inquiry to the server, wherein the inquiry includes the current location and the destination, the server is configured to determine a route from the current location to the destination; receiving routing data from the server, wherein the routing data describes the route in pre-defined generic terms so that the routing data is independent from types of mapping database modules; matching a turning street in the routing data with a cross street in the mapping database to account for differences in spelling or for differences in street names between the routing data and the mapping database; and displaying on a display screen the route from the current location to the destination, wherein the route is superimposed on the local map, the map is automatically scrolled to accommodate an indication that the mobile device has been travelling from the current location.
