Patent attributes
A navigation system is disclosed for providing navigational directions. It has a navigation device with a body provided with a receiving part. The receiving part has an inner surface provided with a connecting element of a first connection type. The navigation system further includes a docking system arranged to accommodate the navigation device. The docking system has an extending part provided with a connecting element of a second connection type. The connecting element of the second connection type is arranged for connection to the connecting element of the first connection type. The extending part further includes an outer surface with a shape similar to the inner surface of the receiving part of the navigation device. In at least one embodiment, the receiving part is slideable along a trajectory over the outer surface, the trajectory being determined by the shape of both the inner surface of the receiving part of the navigation device and the outer surface of the extending part of the docking system. Particularly, the trajectory is such that the connecting element of the first connection type is guided towards the connecting element of the second connection type for connection.
