Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for suppressed navigation instructions. In one implementation, a first set of navigational operations between an origin and a destination can be received, an alternative set of navigational operations between the origin and the destination can be received, the alternative set of navigational operations can be compared with the first set of navigational operations to identify one or more operations included in the alternative set of navigational operations that deviate from the first set of navigational operations, and one or more of the one or more operations included in the alternative set of navigational operations that deviate from the first set of navigational operations can be provided.
