First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method of summarizing a navigation route comprising:
- receiving input specifying a destination;
determining a navigation route to the destination;
evaluating one or more roads on the route based at least in part on one or more predefined criteria;
including a subset of the one or more roads in the route summary based at least in part on the evaluating; and
outputting the route summary.

Abstract
A route between locations includes a detailed set of directions to get from a present location to a destination. A route summary is provided, showing a subset of the roads needed to be traveled to go from the present location to the destination. The route summary is determined at least in part based on a set of rules for evaluating the roads in the route for inclusion in the route summary.

14. A computer-implemented route-summarizing apparatus including:
-
direction receiving programmed logic circuitry to receive input specifying a destination; direction determining programmed logic circuitry to determine a set of directions between at least a first location and the destination, wherein the directions include at least road names and distances traveled on roads; road evaluating programmed logic circuitry to evaluate one or more of the roads included in the directions based at least in part on one or more predetermined criteria; and summary building programmed logic circuitry to include one or more of the roads included in the directions in a route summary based at least in part on the evaluation results provided by the road evaluating programmed logic circuitry. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
