1. A method for determining a route, the method comprising:
- identifying, by a user device, a plurality of locations of the user device;
generating a user'"'"'s travel history including information identifying the plurality of locations of the user device;
receiving a starting point and a destination point;
computing a route from the starting point to the destination point, wherein the computed route comprises a route segment;
determining, based on a user'"'"'s travel history, that the route segment does not include a location from the plurality of locations, wherein the route segment is an unfamiliar segment;
identifying, based on the user'"'"'s travel history, a location from the plurality of locations that is associated with the unfamiliar route segment; and
providing, in a format that distinguishes the location from the computed route, the computed route and the location relative to the unfamiliar segment for presentation of the location within a scaled range of the unfamiliar segment.

Abstract
A method for presenting a route includes receiving a starting point and a destination point and computing a route that includes a route segment between the two points. The method further includes determining, based on a user'"'"'s travel history, whether the route segment is an unfamiliar segment, and identifying, based on the user'"'"'s travel history, a road that is familiar to the user. The method includes providing, in a format that distinguishes the familiar road from the computed route, the computed route and the familiar road relative to the unfamiliar segment for presentation of the familiar road within a scaled range of the unfamiliar segment.
