FIELD

The present application generally relates to navigation methods and devices.

BACKGROUND

Navigation devices were traditionally utilized mainly in the areas of vehicle use, such as on cars, motorcycles, trucks, boats, etc. Alternatively, if such navigation devices were portable, they were further transferable between vehicles and/or useable outside the vehicle, for foot travel for example.

These devices provide a user with directions and map information to direct the user from one location to another location. File transfer between these devices and a personal computer required USB communication through a USB cable.

SUMMARY

The inventors of the present application developed a method and implementation of a navigation device, to allow users of the navigation device to send and/or receive at least one document to/from at least one other device via a personal area network

In at least one embodiment of the present application, a navigation device includes a memory to store at least one document, an input device to select at least one document stored in memory, and a network interface to identify at least one other device. The selected at least one document is sent via a personal area network to the at least one other identified device. The personal area network is a short-range wireless network.

In at least one embodiment of the present application, a navigation device includes a network interface to receive at least one document from at least one other device via a personal area network and a memory to store the at least one document. The personal area network is a short-range wireless network.

In at least one embodiment of the present application, a method includes selecting at least one document in a memory associated with a navigation device, identifying at least one other device accessible via a personal area network, and sending the at least one selected document via the personal area network to the at least one other identified device in response to a received input. The personal area network is a short-range wireless network.

In at least one embodiment of the present application, a method includes receiving at least one document from at least one other device via a personal area network and storing the at least one document in memory associated with a navigation device. The personal area network is a short-range wireless network.

In at least one embodiment of the present application, a navigation device includes means for storing at least one document; means for selecting at least one document stored in memory, and means for identifying at least one other device, the selected at least one document being sent via a personal area network to the at least one other device. The personal area network is a short-range wireless network.
