Abstract

A navigation system is provided with an application programming interface to enable efficient integration of a navigation solution into a navigation platform. The system includes a client-server architecture and the API is implemented with a standardized set of request and response functions defined in the client and server, respectively. The API includes a rapid prototyping interface component for enabling development of a navigation solution independent of a particular navigation platform. An information discovery and exchange interface component enables the navigation platform (client) to discover and retrieve the information available from the navigation solution (server) navigation solution.
