Transportation routing

1. A computer-implemented navigation device having memory for storing instructions that, when executed:

obtain information related to a suggested navigation route for a reoccurring event;

display the suggested navigation route based on at least the obtained information;

receive a command in response to the display of the suggested navigation route;

transmit data relating to the command to a remote system and receive follow-up information in response to the transmission of data relating to the command; and

update the suggested navigation route based on the command and the follow-up information for a future travel in connection with the reoccurring event.

2. The computer-implemented navigation device of claim 1 further having memory storing instructions that, when executed, generate a location information for use in computing expected navigation points for the device based on past locations for the device.

3. The computer-implemented navigation device of claim 2 , wherein the expected navigation points are computed for a time period corresponding to a time period for the past locations for the device.

4. The computer-implemented navigation device of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining of information showing a suggested navigation route occurs at a predetermined time of the day.

5. A computer-implemented method of providing personalized route information, comprising:

generating, for display at a wireless client device, a travel objective route from a starting point to a destination for a reoccurring event, for a user of the wireless client device;

receiving one or more navigation points manually entered by a user of the wireless client device between the starting point and the destination of the travel objective route;

updating the travel objective route with the one or more navigation points for a future travel in connection with the reoccurring event;

obtaining, at a server system remote from the wireless client device, near real-time traffic data for an area proximate to the travel objective route;

generating, at the server system, a suggested route based on the travel objective route and the traffic data, with the suggested route passing through the navigation points entered by the user; and

providing, from the server system to the wireless client device, map data formatted to generate a map showing the suggested route on the wireless client device.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising receiving from a user an indication of an intent to have the client device enter a learn mode, and to gather location indicators only during the learn mode.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the map data is provided at a predetermined time of day.

8. The method of claim 5 , further comprising transmitting information indicative of real-time traffic data to the wireless client device.

9. The method of claim 5 , further comprising identifying one or more advertisements targeted to locations on the map and providing indicators for the advertisements with the map data, wherein the advertisements are targeted based on a profile of the user.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the advertisements are further targeted to information in a profile for a user of the wireless client device.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising charging a business for a location associated with one of the advertisements if a user of the wireless client device interacts with the advertisement.

12. The method of claim 5 , wherein each location indicator is gathered as the result of a cell-tower hand-off for the wireless client device.

13. The method of claim 5 , wherein the location indicators are grouped according to multiple different time periods.

14. The method of claim 5 , further comprising a calendar for a user of the wireless client device and generating the suggested route based on a future entry in the calendar.

15. The method of claim 5 , further comprising a calendar for a user of the wireless client device and generating the suggested route based on a future entry in the calendar.

16. A computer-implemented navigation system, comprising:

a mobile computing device comprising a location generator that produces data indicative of a plurality of computing device locations;

a navigation point generator at a server system remote from the computing device that receives and analyzes the data indicative of the plurality of computing device locations for a reoccurring event, receives one or more navigation points manually entered by a user of the mobile computing device after receiving data indicative of at least one of the plurality of device locations, determines a travel objective route from a start to a destination for a user of the device through the one or more navigation points, and updates a user profile with the travel objective route for a future travel in connection with the reoccurring event;

a route generator at the server system that:

receives information indicative of near real-time traffic data near the one or more received navigation points; and

generates data for one or more optimized routes based on the near real-time traffic data and the travel objective route; and

a response formatter at the server system to generate a document for transmission to the computing device, wherein the document includes a map showing the one or more optimized routes.

17. The computer-implemented navigation system of claim 16 , wherein the document further includes one or more advertisements targeted to locations on the map.

18. The computer-implemented navigation system of claim 17 , further comprising a billing unit to charge a business for a location associated with one of the advertisements if a user of the mobile device interacts with the advertisement.

19. The computer-implemented navigation system of claim 16 , wherein the information indicative of traffic data includes real-time traffic data.

20. The method of claim 5 , wherein the reoccurring event comprises a predetermined period of time for one or more days of the week.
