Herein, a technology that facilitates the selection of offload-opportunity wireless networks that respects personal data is discussed. The technology includes tracking a wireless network environment of a parked vehicle and selecting qualifying candidate wireless networks to be an offload-opportunity wireless network. The technology further includes joining the selected wireless network in response to a user's affirmative confirmation.

Selection of offload-opportunity wireless networks that respect personal data

A method of providing directions to a vehicle service facility includes generating a vehicle service alert that includes vehicle operating data, sending the vehicle service alert to a vehicle telematics service subscriber, offering the vehicle telematics service subscriber a choice of one or more vehicle service facilities for responding to the vehicle service alert, and if the vehicle owner chooses a vehicle service facility, providing turn-by-turn directions to the chosen vehicle service facility.

Vehicle telematics communications for providing directions to a vehicle service facility

A telematics unit is provided. The telematics unit includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium and a processor, configured to execute a telematics task manager application according to processor-executable instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium. The telematics task manager application comprises a plurality of tasks. Each task includes one or more subtasks. Each subtask including subtask-specific triggering logic for execution of one or more actions based on the triggering logic. The triggering logic is based on modular condition blocks.
