VEHICLE NAVIGATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRESENTING DRIVING DIRECTIONS ON FAMILIAR ROUTES

摘要

A vehicle navigation system for a vehicle that does not provide driving instructions or information to a driver when the driver is traveling along a familiar route, but does provide audible driving instructions or information when a route deviation event includes one or more processors, a vehicle navigation system display, one or more audio speakers, a satellite module, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions. The one or more processors are configured to determine if the vehicle navigation system is on a familiar route and execute a Reduced Audible Mode, automatically, when the route is familiar. In addition, the one or more processors are operable to switch the vehicle navigation system from the Reduced Audible Mode to a Full Audible Mode when a route deviation event is detected.
