Equipment Package: Personal Provider-Based Route Guidance

Description: This equipment package coordinates with an ISP-Based route planning service to select a suggested route plan that is tailored to the traveler's preferences. Coordination may continue during the trip so that the route plan can be modified to account for new information. Many equipment configurations are possible including systems that provide a basic route plan to the traveler as well as more sophisticated systems that can provide transition by transition guidance to the traveler along a multi-modal route plan.
