1. A method for generating turn-by-turn direction previews, comprising:

  • receiving, using one or more computing devices, a request for a turn-by-turn direction preview;

    generating, using the one or more computing devices, a set of turn-by-turn directions based on a series of road segments connecting a first geographic location and a second geographic location, wherein each direction in the set of turn-by-turn directions is associated with a corresponding waypoint;

    identifying, using the one or more computing devices, a set of images corresponding the series of road segments between two adjacent waypoints of the set of turn-by-turn directions;

    determining, using the one or more computing devices, a subset of the set of images to include in the turn-by-turn direction preview by filtering the set of images to include only the images within a threshold distance from the waypoint corresponding to each turn-by-turn direction; and

    generating, using the one or more computing devices, the turn-by-turn direction preview based on at least in part on the determined subset of the set of images.
