1. A computer-implemented method for generating a navigational route, said method comprising:
- determining a smart via output point using origination, destination and smart via input points, the origination point corresponding to a starting point for a navigational route, the destination point corresponding to a destination point for the route, and the smart via output point is a point for the navigational route that is identified to be an optimal point and that is in proximity to, and different from, the smart via input point; and
generating the navigational route using the origination, destination and smart via output points.

Abstract
A system and method is provided that uses one or more points, e.g., “smart via” input points, e.g., a center of a city such as a large city, to determine one or more points, e.g., smart via output points. A smart via output point determined from a smart via input point can be used, together with origination and destination points, to identify an optimal navigational route between the origination and destination points. A navigational route generated using the smart via output point, an origination point and a destination point travels in proximity to the smart via input point.
