First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for enabling a user to perceive map or route information based on previous user input of conditions of features, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first user at a client device on a network, a request for a first route;
responsive to the request, determining the first route as having a plurality of features associated therewith;
enabling the client device to display the first route, including the plurality of features, to the first user;
receiving input from the first user, the input including;
selecting at least one of the plurality of features of the displayed first route; and
specifying a condition of the selected at least one feature of the first route;
determining, based on the condition of the selected at least one feature input by the first user and on condition information received from sources other than the first user, a status of the selected at least one feature of the first route;
storing the determined status of the selected at least one feature of the first route;
receiving, from a second user, a request for a second route, the second route comprising a plurality of features including the selected at least one feature of the first route;
accessing the stored status of the selected at least one feature of the first route; and
enabling the second user to perceive the second route and the accessed status of the selected at least one feature of the first route.

Abstract
Enabling a user to perceive map or route information including a status includes enabling a first user to perceive one or more features of a map and receiving condition information that reflects a condition perceived by the first user as existing relative to the one or more features based on input from the first user. Also, enabling a user to perceive map or route information includes receiving a request for a route from a second user and determining a response to the request for the route including the route based on the condition information received from the first user related to the one or more features. Further, enabling a user to perceive map or route information includes enabling the second user to perceive the route based on receipt of the response.

2. A computer-implemented method for enabling a user to perceive map or route information including a status, the method comprising:
-
enabling a client device associated with a first user to perceive features of a map; receiving input from the first user, the input including; selecting one or more features of the map; and specifying a condition of the selected one or more features perceived by the first user as existing at the selected one or more features; receiving, from a second user, a request for a route; in response to the request from the second user; determining, based on the condition of the selected one or more features input by the first user, a response to the request for the route, the response including the route; and enabling the second user to perceive the route. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for enabling a user to perceive map or route information including a status, the system comprising:
-
a communications module configured to; enable a first user to perceive a map having features, receive input from the first user, the input including; selecting one or more features of the map; and specifying a condition of the selected one or more features perceived by the first user as existing relative to the one or more features, receive, from a second user, a request for a route, and responsive to the request, enable the second user to perceive the route; and a processing module configured to determine, based on the condition of the selected one or more features input by the first user, the response to the request for the route, the response including the route. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A computer-implemented method for providing information associated with a route, comprising:
-
receiving, over a communication network from users at client devices, route requests; determining, in response to the route requests, routes including sequences of features; transmitting the routes to the client devices over the network to enable the client devices to display the routes to the users; receiving, from the client devices over the communication network, input from at least some of the users, the input including; selecting features of the displayed routes, and specifying traffic condition information associated with the selected features of the routes; updating a storage module with the specified traffic condition information for the selected route features; receiving a route request from a first user at a first client device over the communication network; determining, in response to the route request, a first route including a first sequence of route features; retrieving, from the storage module, traffic condition information associated with the first sequence of features in the first route; transmitting, over the communication network to the first client device, the first route and the retrieved traffic condition information associated with the first sequence of features in the first route, to enable the first client device to display the first route and the traffic condition information associated with the first sequence of features in the first route to the first user. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36)
