Rendering Road Signs During Navigation
First Claim
1. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program for execution by at least one processing unit, the program sets of instructions for:
- identifying different junctions along a navigated route; and
during a navigation presentation, presenting road signs by differentiating the appearance of road signs at junctions that require a change of direction from road signs at junctions that do not require a change of direction.

Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention provide a navigation application that presents road signs during a navigation presentation. In presenting the road signs, the application of some embodiments differentiates the appearance of road signs at junctions that require a change of direction from road signs at junctions that do not require a change of direction. The application may perform processes that ensure that it arranges the road signs on the map in an aesthetically pleasing manner. In addition, the navigation application of some embodiments does not display too many road signs along the navigated route so that the route is not by occluded by too many road signs.
