Appeal No. 96-1106
Application 07/998,721
regard to the merits of this rejection.4
Link discloses a vehicle route planning system 10 which
includes data input devices 11 and 12, a navigation computer
13,
a road map data memory 14, direction, distance and position
sensors 15, an output speaker 16 and an output CRT display 17.
As described by Link,
in response to system user inputs provided via the
input devices 11 and/or 12, the navigation computer
13 will plan a desired route, via fixed roadways
defined by the data in the road map memory 14, and
store the desired route, at least temporarily, in a
route memory location 18 contained in the navigation
computer 13. The actual planning of the desired
route is accomplished by a route planning module 19
which is part of the navigation computer 13. The
module 19 represents specific route planning
software programmed into the computer 13.
The navigation computer 13 also includes an
origin data memory 20, a destination data memory 21
and a detour memory 22 which has at least three
subdivisions. One of the detour memory subdivisions
is a system detour memory 23, and driver detour and
trip detour memories 24 and 25 comprise subsystem
