GENERATING TURN-BY-TURN DIRECTION PREVIEWS
First Claim
1. A method for generating turn-by-turn direction previews, the method comprising:
- receiving, using one or more computing devices, a request for a turn-by-turn direction preview;
generating, using the one or more computing devices, a set of turn-by-turn directions based on a series of road segments between a first geographic location and a second geographic location, each road segment of the series being defined by two waypoints along a route between the first geographic location and the second geographic location and portions of roadway between the two waypoints;
identifying, using the one or more computing devices, a set of images for each road segment of the series;
filtering each given set of images of the sets of images, using the one or more computing devices, to remove any images that exceed a predetermined quantity of images designated for that given set of images; and
generating, using the one or more computing devices, the turn-by-turn direction preview based on at least in part on each of the filtered sets of images.

Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to generating turn-by-turn direction previews. In one aspect, one or more computing devices, may receive a request for a turn-by-turn direction preview. The one or more computing devices may generate a set of turn-by-turn directions based on a series of road segments connecting a first geographic location and a second geographic location. Each direction in the set of turn-by-turn directions may be associated with a corresponding waypoint. The one or more computing devices then identify a set of images corresponding the series of road segments between two adjacent waypoints of the set of turn-by-turn directions, and determine a subset of the set of images to include in the turn-by-turn direction preview. Subsequently, the one or more computing devices may generate the turn-by-turn direction preview based on at least in part on the determined subset of the set of images.

13. A system for generating turn-by-turn direction previews, the system comprising:
-
one or more computing devices configured to; receive a request for a turn-by-turn direction preview; generate a set of turn-by-turn directions based on a series of road segments between a first geographic location and a second geographic location, each road segment of the series being defined by two waypoints along a route between the first geographic location and the second geographic location and portions of roadway between the two waypoints; identify a set of images for each road segment of the series; filter each given set of images of the sets of images to remove any images that exceed a predetermined quantity of images designated for that given set of images; and generate the turn-by-turn direction preview based on at least in part on each of the filtered sets of images. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
