1. A method for providing adaptive audio guidance, the method comprising:
- determining, by one or more processors, a route from an initial location of a computing device;
determining, by one or more processors, one or more previously traveled routes by a user;
prompting, by one or more processors, the user to select a degree range relative to an inputted destination, wherein the degree range is measured from a variable central line determined from a previous location of the computing device to the inputted destination, and wherein the previous location and the inputted destination are endpoints of the variable central line;
responsive to a determination that the computing device has traveled to a location outside of the degree range from either side of the variable central line, providing, by one or more processors, audio guidance to the user;
determining, by one or more processors, whether the route is the same as any portion of the one or more previously traveled routes by the user; and
providing, by one or more processors, audio guidance to the user for any portion of the route that was determined to not be the same as any portion of the one or more previously traveled routes by the user.

Abstract
In a method for providing adaptive audio guidance, determining, by one or more processors, a route of a computing device, wherein the route is from an initial location of the computing device to a destination. Determining, by one or more processors, an estimated time of arrival at which the computing device would arrive at the destination. Prompting, by one or more processors, a user to input a desired arrival time. Determining, by one or more processors, whether to provide audio guidance based on a determination of whether the estimated time of arrival is within a pre-determined time period before the desired arrival time.

13. A computer system for providing adaptive audio guidance, the computer system comprising:
-
one or more computer processors; one or more computer readable storage media; and program instructions, stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising; program instructions to determine a route from an initial location of a computing device; program instructions to determine one or more previously traveled routes by a user; program instructions to prompt the user to select a degree range relative to an inputted destination, wherein the degree range is measured from a variable central line determined from a previous location of the computing device to the inputted destination, and wherein the previous location and the inputted destination are endpoints of the variable central line; responsive to a determination that the computing device has traveled to a location outside of the degree range from either side of the variable central line, program instructions to provide audio guidance to the user; program instructions to determine whether the route is the same as any portion of the one or more previously traveled routes by the user; and program instructions to provide audio guidance to the user for any portion of the route that was determined to not be the same as any portion of the one or more previously traveled routes by the user. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
