1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by an electronic navigation system, user specification of a first destination to which to provide directions;
based on the user specification of the first destination to which to provide directions, determining, by the electronic navigation system, a first route to the first destination, the first route including a first direction to present in providing navigation along the first route to the first destination;
providing, by the electronic navigation system, navigation along the first route to the first destination by presenting the first direction in a first manner that does not include a landmark in presenting the first direction;
receiving, by the electronic navigation system, a first user specification of a second destination to which to provide directions, the second destination being different than the first destination;
based on the first user specification of the second destination to which to provide directions, determining, by the electronic navigation system, a second route to the second destination, the second route including a second direction to present in providing navigation along the second route to the second destination;
providing, by the electronic navigation system, navigation along the second route to the second destination by presenting the second direction;
detecting, by the electronic navigation system, that the second direction was missed in providing navigation along the second route to the second destination;
after detecting that the second direction was missed in providing navigation along the second route to the second destination, receiving, by the electronic navigation system, a second user specification of the second destination to which to provide directions;
based on the second user specification of the second destination to which to provide directions, determining, by the electronic navigation system, a third route to the second destination, the third route including the second direction to present in providing navigation along the third route to the second destination; and
providing, by the electronic navigation system, navigation along the third route to the second destination by presenting the second direction in a second manner that includes a landmark in presenting the second direction, the second manner of presenting the second direction being different than the first manner in which the first direction was presented in providing navigation along the first route to the first destination.

Abstract
An electronic direction system accesses navigation data describing at least one instance in which a direction was missed during provision of electronic navigation along a route and tracks instances in which directions have been missed based on the accessed navigation data. The electronic direction system accounts for the tracked instances in which directions have been missed in handling provision of future directions.

1. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by an electronic navigation system, user specification of a first destination to which to provide directions; based on the user specification of the first destination to which to provide directions, determining, by the electronic navigation system, a first route to the first destination, the first route including a first direction to present in providing navigation along the first route to the first destination; providing, by the electronic navigation system, navigation along the first route to the first destination by presenting the first direction in a first manner that does not include a landmark in presenting the first direction; receiving, by the electronic navigation system, a first user specification of a second destination to which to provide directions, the second destination being different than the first destination; based on the first user specification of the second destination to which to provide directions, determining, by the electronic navigation system, a second route to the second destination, the second route including a second direction to present in providing navigation along the second route to the second destination; providing, by the electronic navigation system, navigation along the second route to the second destination by presenting the second direction; detecting, by the electronic navigation system, that the second direction was missed in providing navigation along the second route to the second destination; after detecting that the second direction was missed in providing navigation along the second route to the second destination, receiving, by the electronic navigation system, a second user specification of the second destination to which to provide directions; based on the second user specification of the second destination to which to provide directions, determining, by the electronic navigation system, a third route to the second destination, the third route including the second direction to present in providing navigation along the third route to the second destination; and providing, by the electronic navigation system, navigation along the third route to the second destination by presenting the second direction in a second manner that includes a landmark in presenting the second direction, the second manner of presenting the second direction being different than the first manner in which the first direction was presented in providing navigation along the first route to the first destination. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. An electronic navigation system comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising; receiving user specification of a first destination to which to provide directions; based on the user specification of the first destination to which to provide directions, determining a first route to the first destination, the first route including a first direction to present in providing navigation along the first route to the first destination; providing navigation along the first route to the first destination by presenting the first direction in a first manner that does not include a landmark in presenting the first direction; receiving a first user specification of a second destination to which to provide directions, the second destination being different than the first destination; based on the first user specification of the second destination to which to provide directions, determining a second route to the second destination, the second route including a second direction to present in providing navigation along the second route to the second destination; providing navigation along the second route to the second destination by presenting the second direction; detecting that the second direction was missed in providing navigation along the second route to the second destination; after detecting that the second direction was missed in providing navigation along the second route to the second destination, receiving a second user specification of the second destination to which to provide directions; based on the second user specification of the second destination to which to provide directions, determining a third route to the second destination, the third route including the second direction to present in providing navigation along the third route to the second destination; and providing navigation along the third route to the second destination by presenting the second direction in a second manner that includes a landmark in presenting the second direction, the second manner of presenting the second direction being different than the first manner in which the first direction was presented in providing navigation along the first route to the first destination. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method comprising:
-
accessing direction tracking data that includes entries that correspond to a particular user or device; deriving a driving profile for the particular user based on the entries that correspond to the particular user or device; and storing, in electronic storage, the driving profile for the particular user or device to use in handling provision of future directions to the particular user or device; and accounting, by an electronic navigation system, for the stored driving profile for the particular user or device in handling provision of future directions to the particular user or device, wherein deriving the driving profile for the particular user based on the entries that correspond to the particular user or device comprises analyzing the entries that correspond to the particular user or device and, based on the analysis, deriving a profile related to how the particular user or device has followed directions in past situations. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
