Method and apparatus for generating route exceptions
First Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of or processing (1) data, (2) information or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data, (2) information or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- a processing, via a processor located at network based navigation service, of travel information associated with one or more devices for comparison against predetermined original route information;
one or more exceptions based, at least in part, on the comparison, wherein the one or more exceptions represents at least one deviation by at least one of the one or more devices from at least one route indicated in the predetermined original route information; and
a processing, via the processor located at network based navigation service, of the one or more exceptions to cause, at least in part, updating of at least a portion of the predetermined original route information, in response to a routing request from at least one other device, other than the one or more devices used for the one or more exceptions.

Abstract
An approach for providing mapping information and route information based on exception information received from various users travelling within a common area is described. A navigation system processes travel information associated with one or more devices for comparison against predetermined route information. The navigation system also determines one or more exceptions based, at least in part, on the comparison. The predetermined route information, mapping information, or a combination thereof it then caused to be updated based, at least in part, on the processing of the one or more exceptions.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, process and/or facilitate a processing of travel information associated with one or more devices for comparison against predetermined original route information; determine one or more exceptions based, at least in part, on the comparison, wherein the one or more exceptions represents at least one deviation by at least one of the one or more devices from at least one route indicated in the predetermined original route information; and process or facilitate a processing of the one or more exceptions to cause, at least in part, updating of at least a portion of the predetermined original route information in response to a routing request from at least one other device, other than the one or more devices used for the one or more exceptions, wherein the apparatus is located at a network based navigation service. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
