METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PROVIDING A DESTINATION PREVIEW
First Claim
1. A method for providing a destination preview, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication that a current remaining travel time to the destination is less than a pre-defined threshold amount of time; and
in response to receiving the indication the current remaining travel time is less than the pre-defined threshold amount of time, causing a mode of navigation assistance to change from a route guidance mode to a destination preview mode, wherein the destination preview mode is based on an overhead perspective.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for providing a destination preview while using a navigation device. As a user approaches a destination, a mode of navigation assistance may change from route guidance to destination preview. The destination preview may include an overhead perspective of an area surrounding a destination. The destination preview may be animated so as to allow the user to maintain perspective of the current location, planned route, and other objects while previewing the destination. The animated perspective path, including height, zoom level, angle, and speed of a vantage point, may be calculated so as to provide improved visibility for a user.
