Abstract
Coordinate based vehicle navigation services are provided using text based traffic route information and associated coordinate data received from an off-vehicle source. Traffic route information indicative of a traffic route from an initial location to a destination may be received. The traffic route information may lack geographic coordinate data defining the traffic route. A way-point along the traffic route may be determined based on the traffic route information. Way-point information defining the way-point along the traffic route may be sent to an off-vehicle information provider. The way-point information may lack geographic coordinate data defining the way-point. Way-point geographic coordinate information defining the way-point may be received and the traffic route information may be associated with the way-point geographic coordinate information.
