Abstract
A global positioning system (“GPS”) receives a destination location from a current driver of a vehicle. A GPS route planning process of the GPS identifies potential routes for the vehicle to the destination location. A data analysis process of the GPS rates the potential routes based on how characteristics of the potential routes relate to characteristics of the current driver. The GPS route planning process selects a route for the current driver responsive to the ratings. The GPS displays the selected route to the driver on a display.
