ABSTRACT:
A method to autonomously determine a destination in navigation system is disclosed. The system is preconfigured with all the routes that a vehicle takes. The system constantly checks if the vehicle takes known routes. After finding out that the vehicle has been taken a known route, a final destination is determined.
