Abstract
A navigation system includes a computing platform that has geographic data and navigation applications installed locally. Use of the computing platform is monitored and reported via a wireless communications system to a remotely located facility. The remotely located facility handles billing the end user based on use of the navigation system. The remotely located facility also transmits authorization back to the local computing platform to enable the end user to obtain requested navigation services.
