1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,receive an indication of disruption to a planned route of travel for a road vehicle following the planned route;
based on of real-time contextual data in respect of a location in proximity to a current vehicle location against one or more predefined maneuvering criteria to perform a U-turn onto a different route of travel, identify a U-turn location on the planned route of travel for the vehicle to perform the U-turn, wherein the real-time contextual data includes one or more temporary maneuvering obstructions that are external to the vehicle and determined via real-time sensor data; and
provide an indication of the U-turn location for route navigation onto the different route of travel.

Abstract
An apparatus comprising a processor and memory including computer program code, the memory and computer program code configured to, with the processor, enable the apparatus at least to:
- receive an indication of disruption to a planned route of travel for a road vehicle following the planned route;
- based on consideration of contextual data in respect of a location in proximity to the current vehicle location against one or more predefined manoeuvering criteria, dynamically identify a U-turn location on the planned route of travel at which it is possible for the vehicle to perform a U-turn onto a different route of travel; and
- provide an indication of the dynamically identified U-turn location for use in route navigation onto the different route of travel.

19. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by an apparatus, an indication of disruption to a planned route of travel for a road vehicle following the planned route; based on real-time contextual data in respect of a location in proximity to a current vehicle location against one or more predefined maneuvering criteria to perform a U-turn onto a different route of travel, identifying, by the apparatus, a U-turn location on the planned route of travel for the vehicle to perform the U-turn, wherein the real-time contextual data includes one or more temporary maneuvering obstructions that are external to the vehicle and determined via real-time sensor data; and providing, by the apparatus, an indication of the U-turn location for route navigation onto the different route of travel.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:
-
receiving an indication of disruption to a planned route of travel for a road vehicle following the planned route; based on real-time contextual data in respect of a location in proximity to a current vehicle location against one or more predefined maneuvering criteria to perform a U-turn onto a different route of travel, identifying a U-turn location on the planned route of travel for the vehicle to perform the U-turn, wherein the real-time contextual data includes one or more temporary maneuvering obstructions that are external to the vehicle and determined via real-time sensor data; and providing an indication of the U-turn location for route navigation onto the different route of travel.
