A navigation system, apparatus and method utilizing a processor and a sensor, operatively coupled to the processor to determine a location of the navigation system. An input is configured to receive destination data, specifying a destination, and point-of-interest (POI) data from a user, wherein the processor is configured to process the destination data and the POI data to determine a plurality of POIs that are in closest proximity to the destination and clustering the POIs for presentation on a navigational map. The processor may be further configured to generate a route from the location of the navigation system, the destination and at least one of the POIs in the navigational map based on at least one of speed and distance.

Apparatus, system and method for clustering points of interest in a navigation system

A navigation system, apparatus and method utilizing a processor and a sensor, operatively coupled to the processor to determine a location of the navigation system. A navigation input module is configured to receive destination data specifying a destination and a plurality of point-of-interest (POI) data from a user, where the navigation input module is further configured to receive a POI search area value defining an area of search for the POI data from potential route segments. The processor may utilize the POI search area value to search a plurality of areas along the potential route segments to identify at least some of the plurality of POI data that are in closest proximity to the destination, and wherein the processor may be further configured to cluster the identified POI data for simultaneous presentation on a navigational map.
