Shared navigational information between vehicles
A system for vehicle to another party communications that includes a vehicle personality module adapted to create a vehicle personality and a communications system that utilizes the created vehicle personality for one or more communications instead of a user's profile. The one or more communications are associated with one or more of an identifier and an icon representing the vehicle personality, with this identifier and/or icon sent with at least one communication and displayable to the recipient of the communication.
1. A system for vehicle Global Positioning System (“GPS”) to vehicle GPS communications comprising:
a message module in a first vehicle adapted to one or more of broadcast and post a query for navigational assistance;
a navigation subsystem adapted to analyze the query and determine if a user has information related to the query for navigational assistance; and
a message module in a second vehicle adapted to transmit the information related to the query for navigational assistance.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the query is posted on a social network.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the analysis of the query includes determining a context of a user in the second vehicle.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein a communication session is established between the first and the second vehicle.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transmitted information includes direction information that is automatically entered into a GPS system of the first vehicle.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transmitted information is updated based on one or more of weather information, traffic information and user preference information.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the query is one or more of broadcast and posted based on a privacy setting.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the query is one or more of broadcast and posted to one or more known individuals.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein a GPS of the first vehicle is in communication with a GPS of the second vehicle.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein a GPS of the first vehicle is in communication with a GPS of the second vehicle to allow the second vehicle to automatically follow the route of the first vehicle.
11. A method for vehicle Global Positioning System (“GPS”) to vehicle GPS communications comprising:
one or more of broadcasting and posting from a first vehicle a query for navigational assistance;
analyzing the query and determining if a user has information related to the query for navigational assistance; and
transmitting, from a second vehicle, the information related to the query for navigational assistance.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the query is posted on a social network.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the analysis of the query includes determining a context of a user in the second vehicle.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein a communication session is established between the first and the second vehicle.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the transmitted information includes direction information that is automatically entered into a GPS system of the first vehicle.
16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the transmitted information is updated based on one or more of weather information, traffic information and user preference information.
17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the query is one or more of broadcast and posted based on a privacy setting.
18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the query is one or more of broadcast and posted to one or more known individuals.
19. The method of claim 11 , wherein a GPS of the first vehicle is in communication with a GPS of the second vehicle.
20. The method of claim 11 , wherein a GPS of the first vehicle is in communication with a GPS of the second vehicle to allow the second vehicle to automatically follow the route of the first vehicle.
