Abstract:
Capabilities are added to a travel reservation system by delivering a traveler's destination information to a car reservation company computer for subsequent downloading as waypoint data into a global positioning system (GPS) device in the car being rented by the traveler. The traveler creates a travel itinerary, including a request for a rental car at a first destination and a second destination to which the traveler will drive the car. Information about the destinations is transmitted to the rental car company for downloading into a GPS receiver in the rental car for use by the traveler.
