1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, in a computing device having a processor and a memory, a request to compute a route from a start point to an end point; and
computing the route using map data that includes a plurality of map elements, and route data that includes rules associated with the map elements, each of the rules being triggered by a condition flag that specifies a condition according to which the rule should be applied,specifying a rule that includes avoidance of a map element based at least in part on user inputs related to driver knowledge provided in advance of occurrence of the condition andwherein the route data is based at least in part on user inputs related to driver experience in a geographic area associated with the route, and further wherein the user inputs are based on stored data and not real-time or near-real-time traffic data.

Abstract
A request is received to compute a route from a start point to an end point. The route is computed using map data that includes a plurality of map elements, and route data that includes rules associated with the map elements, each of the rules being triggered by a condition flag that specifies a condition according to which the rule should be applied. The route data is based inputs related to driver experience in a geographic area associated with the route, and the inputs are based on stored data and not real-time or near-real-time data.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable medium tangibly embodying computer-executable instructions, including instructions for:
-
receiving a request to compute a route from a start point to an end point; computing the route using map data that includes a plurality of map elements, and route data that includes rules associated with the map elements, each of the rules being triggered by a condition flag that specifies a condition according to which the rule should be applied; and specifying a precedence of at least one rule based on user inputs independent of real-time traffic data, wherein the route data is based at least in part on user inputs related to driver experience in a geographic area associated with the route, and further wherein the user inputs are based on stored data and not real-time or near-real-time traffic data. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A system, comprising:
-
a computing device, including a processor and a memory, configured to; receive a request to compute a route from a start point to an end point; correlate a scheduled event at a venue with a map element to be avoided; and compute the route using map data that includes a plurality of map elements, and route data that includes rules associated with the map elements, each of the rules being triggered by a condition flag that specifies a condition according to which the rule should be applied, at least one rule being triggered by the scheduled event to avoid the map element associated with the scheduled event; wherein the route data is based at least in part on user inputs related to driver experience in a geographic area associated with the route associated with the scheduled event, and further wherein the user inputs are based on stored data and not real-time or near-real-time traffic data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 22)
