1. A method comprising:
- receiving, on a graphical user interface, a first user input for a destination;
calculating a first route from an origin to the destination;
displaying a representation of the first route on the graphical user interface;
displaying, on the graphical user interface, an interactive sign icon representative of a real world sign from alongside a first road of the first route from the origin to the destination, wherein the interactive sign icon includes a representation of a second road that leads to the destination;
receiving, on the graphical user interface, a second user input for the interactive icon representative of the real world sign;
calculating a second route to the destination including the second road from the interactive sign icon, wherein the second route is an alternative route to the destination; and
displaying the second route on the graphical user interface.

Abstract
One or more systems, devices, and/or methods for providing and/or using a navigation/geographic feature are disclosed. For example, a method of operation of a navigation system may include providing a graphics user interface. A data representation of a geographic object, such as a path sign or icon, text, or character thereof, is provided in the graphics user interface. The data representation of the path sign may be provided as a feature of a navigation display. Input identifying a portion of the data representation of the geographic object is received. A navigation-related function is provided based on receiving the input.

25. A navigation system comprising:
-
a navigation application configured to receive at least a first user input for a destination and calculate a first route from an origin to the destination; a graphical user interface configured to display a representation of the first route and an interactive sign icon representative of a real world sign from alongside a first road of the first route from the origin to the destination, wherein the interactive sign icon includes a representation of a second road, wherein the second road is part of an alternative route from the origin to the destination; wherein when the graphical user interface receives a second user input for the interactive icon representative of the real world sign, the navigation application calculates a second route to the destination including the second road from the interactive sign icon.
