Claim One:
1. A navigation device for predicting a destination of a trip, the navigation device comprising: a position determination unit for determining the current position of the navigation device; a clock unit for determining the current time and date; a computer-readable non-transitory data storage for storing a trip history, the trip history comprising a set of trip data objects, each trip data object representing a past trip and comprising starting parameters and an actual destination of the represented trip, the actual destination being the destination chosen and reached by a user of the navigation device, the starting parameters comprising at least: a starting time and date of the trip, and a starting point of the trip; a learning module for generating a destination prediction algorithm, the destination prediction algorithm being generated by using information of the trip history; a destination prediction module for predicting the destination of the trip, thereby using the destination prediction algorithm, the destination prediction algorithm being operable to predict the destination of the trip by using the starting parameters of the trip; wherein the destination prediction algorithm is to calculate prediction scores for corresponding predicted destinations; wherein the navigation device is to use a value of the highest score among the prediction scores to select a navigation mode among a plurality of navigation modes; a processor for executing read/write operations on the data storage and for executing instructions of the learning and prediction modules; a notification device for indicating to a user of the navigation device the route to a destination of a trip.
