Electronic navigation related technology
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- tracking multiple instances in which a user follows preferred routes instead of following navigation directions provided based on routing settings of an electronic navigation device;
accessing attribute information for the preferred routes that the user used instead of following navigation directions;
analyzing the attribute information for the preferred routes that the user used instead of following navigation directions;
based on the analysis, identifying, by at least one processor, attributes that are similar for the preferred routes that the user used instead of following navigation directions;
comparing the identified attributes to the routing settings of the electronic navigation device; and
performing an operation directed to changing the routing settings of the electronic navigation device based on the comparison of the identified attributes to the routing settings of the electronic navigation device.

Abstract
Techniques are described for monitoring whether a user is following directions to a destination during electronic navigation to the destination provided by an electronic navigation device. When the electronic navigation device determines that the user is not following directions to the destination (e.g., the user has missed several turns suggested by the electronic navigation device), the electronic navigation device determines that the user appears to be avoiding the route (or a primary component thereof) to the destination. In response to a determination that the user appears to be avoiding the route (or a primary component thereof) to the destination, the electronic navigation device may automatically, without human intervention, perform an operation directed to using an alternative route (or alternative primary component) to the destination despite the current route remaining preferred according to current routing settings.
