METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING ROUTE EXCEPTIONS
First Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of or processing (1) data, (2) information or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data, (2) information or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- a processing of travel information associated with a plural number of devices for comparison against predetermined route information;
a detection of at least one exception by a plurality of the devices based, at least in part, on the comparison, wherein the at least one exception represents a deviation by the plurality of the devices from a route indicated in the predetermined route information; and
a processing of the at least one exception to cause, at least in part, updating of mapping information at a network based server.

Abstract
An approach for providing mapping information and route information based on exception information received from various users travelling within a common area is described. A navigation system processes travel information associated with one or more devices for comparison against predetermined route information. The navigation system also determines one or more exceptions based, at least in part, on the comparison. The predetermined route information, mapping information, or a combination thereof it then caused to be updated based, at least in part, on the processing of the one or more exceptions.
