1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a request to determine a route between a starting location and a destination location;
determining a first route between the starting location and the destination location using predictive traffic data for at least one location between the starting location and the destination location;
providing the first route in response to the request to determine a route between the starting location and the destination location;
accessing updated predictive traffic data after a departure time for departure from the starting location, the updated predictive traffic data comprising data about an event occurring at an event time, the event affecting traffic for at least one location between the starting location and the destination location, the event time being after the departure time;
determining a second route between an intermediate location and the destination location using the updated predictive traffic data; and
providing the second route.

9. An apparatus, comprising:
-
an interface operable to; receive a request to determine a route between a starting location and a destination location; and a processor coupled to the interface and operable to determine a first route between the starting location and the destination location using predictive traffic data for at least one location between the starting location and the destination location; wherein the interface is further operable to provide the first route in response to the request to determine a route between the starting location and the destination location; wherein the processor is further operable to; access updated predictive traffic data after a departure time for a departure from the starting location, the updated predictive traffic data comprising data about an event occurring at an event time, the event affecting traffic for at least one location between the starting location and the destination location, the event time being after the departure time; and determine a second route between an intermediate location and the destination location using the updated predictive traffic data; and wherein the interface is further operable to provide the second route. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
