Driving directions with selective printing
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- providing data representative of driving directions to an access device, said driving directions including a plurality of driving steps;
providing at least one selection tool to the access device, each said at least one selection tool associated with one of said plurality of driving steps and enabling a user of the access device to select a category of driving steps, said category selecting which of said driving steps to display and hide in a graphical user interface; and
displaying, in said graphical user interface, for each of said at least one selection tool, a selection status indicator that indicates whether the associated one of said plurality of driving steps associated with the selection tool is selected for printing, said selection status indicator being based on whether said associated one of said plurality of driving steps is selected for display in said graphical user interface;
wherein said data representative of said driving directions and said at least one selection tool are provided to the access device via a communication network.

Abstract
In one of many possible embodiments, an exemplary system includes a driving directions subsystem configured to provide data representative of driving directions to an access device communicatively coupled to the driving directions subsystem. The driving directions subsystem is further configured to provide at least one selection tool to the access device. The selection tool enables a user of the access device to select a subset of the driving directions for printing. In certain embodiments, the driving directions include a plurality of driving steps, and the selection tool enables the user of the access device to select, for each driving step, between including the driving step in and omitting the driving step from the printing.

14. A method comprising:
-
providing data representative of said driving directions to an access device, said data being provided to the access device via a communication network, said driving directions including a plurality of driving steps; providing at least one selection tool to the access device via the communication network, each said at least one selection tool associated with one of said plurality of driving steps and enabling the user of the access device to select a category of driving steps, said category selecting which of said driving steps to display and hide in a graphical user interface; providing a print control tool to the access device over the communication network, said print control tool enabling the user of the access device to initiate said printing; displaying said at least one selection tool, said print control tool, and at least a subset of said driving directions in a single graphical user interface window, wherein for each of said at least one selection tool, a selection status indictor for indicating whether the associated one of said plurality of driving steps associated with the selection tool is selected for printing, said selection status indicator enabling the user of the access device to select, for each of said driving steps, between displaying said driving step and hiding said driving step from view in the graphical user interface; and printing selected ones of said driving steps when said print control tool is selected.

15. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at an access device, data representative of driving directions having a plurality of driving steps; receiving a selection of at least one category of the driving steps from a user via at least one selection tool, each said at least one selection tool associated with one of said plurality of driving steps, said at least one category selecting which of said driving steps to display and hide and including less than all of the driving steps; displaying, in a graphical user interface, for said at least one selection tool, a selection status indicator that indicates whether the subset of said driving instructions associated with the selection tool is selected for printing, said selection status indicator being based on whether the associated one of said plurality of driving steps is selected for display in said graphical user interface; displaying the selected driving steps on the graphical user interface; and hiding the non-selected driving steps from view on the graphical user interface. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
