METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENHANCED NAVIGATION IN A DISPATCH COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method and apparatus provide enhanced navigational alerts for a vehicular two-way radio operating in a dispatch communication system. The integration and prioritization of navigational alerts with dispatch voice communication ensures that navigational alerts do not compromise mission critical voice communications. Navigational alerts in the form of navigational voice instructions and navigational tones are selectively prioritized based on predetermined parameters associated with the dispatch call.

1. A method for receiving navigational instructions at a vehicular two-way radio in a dispatch communication, comprising:
engaging or listening to a dispatch call; monitoring the dispatch call; based on the monitoring, transmitting a navigational tone during the dispatch call; determining when the dispatch call has ended; and rendering both a voice navigational instruction and a navigational tone at the end of the dispatch call.
