Abstract
An automobile navigation system which allows quick selection of destinations by users is described herein. The system maintains a record of destinations selected by each of multiple users of the system. For each user, the system determines a set of destinations most-commonly selected by the user, based on the record of selected destinations. The system determines which of the users is the current user, and in response to receiving a predetermined input, displays a list of destinations corresponding to the most-commonly selected destinations for the current user. When an input selecting one of the displayed destinations is received, the system computes a route to the selected destination.
