15. A system comprising:
-
an interface component configured to;
receive a request for directions from an initial location to a final location; and
provide directions to travel a route from the initial location to the final location;
a route determination component configured to;
determine a route between the initial location and the final location, the route including one or more direction points;
determine a landmark located near a first direction point of the one or more direction points;
generate directions to travel the route from the initial location to the final location, the directions including a reference to the landmark. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
receiving an initial location and a final location;
determining a plurality of routes between the initial location and the final location;
for each of the plurality of routes, determining one or more landmarks at one or more direction points included in the route; and
selecting a route from the plurality of routes, the selecting based on the determined one or more landmarks for each of the plurality of routes. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
