Thematic map based route optimization
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising at least one processing core, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to:
- determine a route based at least partly on a thematic map database, and a current location of the apparatus, wherein the thematic map database associates activity type intensities with locations, wherein the route is further determined based on at least one of the following contents of the thematic map database;
a season of the year, indications of past photography, avalanche risk density, traffic density and crime density, wherein the route is determined to be interruptible in that the route comes close to its start point at a point along the route;
present the determined route as a suggested route to a first user, andresponsive to the first user approving the suggested route, initiate an activity session based on the suggested route.
