Abstract
A navigation system, apparatus and method for prioritizing and geometrically linearizing navigational data/content, where internal navigational data having one or more first navigational destinations and/or locations are stored. A global positioning apparatus may be operatively coupled to a processor in the navigation system and configured to determine a current car position (CCP). Communications operatively coupled to the processor may be configured to receive external navigational data comprising one or more second navigational destinations and/or locations, wherein the processor may be configured to prioritize the internal and external navigational data according to at least one of a source and/or type. The processor may also be configured to process the internal and external navigational data to generate a linearized representation of navigational paths for the prioritized first and second navigational destinations and/or locations relative to the CCP.
