First Claim
1. A method of identifying a representation of at least one route for guiding a user comprising the following steps:
- generating a start and end point;
generating a safety factor;
providing route data comprising segments, safety ratings, and lengths wherein each segment has an associated safety rating and length;
determining at least one route between the start and end point from the route data and the safety factor; and
identifying a representation of the at least one route.

Abstract
The present invention is directed toward a system and method for a web-based mapping and routing service for pedestrians, which may include wheeled transportation (e.g. buses). More specifically, the present invention is directed toward use on a college campus. The present invention provides customized pedestrian routes highlighting campus and community locations while providing navigation options concerning walking distance and safety factors. This provides custom routes to each user that are designed to be optimized for safety or speed depending on user input.
