Garmin’s New Patent

The Kansas City Business Journal notes Garmin’s latest patent: Methods and systems to interface navigation operations.  It allows developers (I think) “to rapidly permit any desired customization of software applications” on navigation devices. The article goes on to note that Garmin has an open API for its GPS-enabled iQue and may one day open APIs for its in car navigation devices.

Does this patent make it difficult for there to be a standard interface that might support many company’s nav systems?
