    instructions for, in response to a destination location being selected from the generated list, navigating directly to the destination location from the location without navigating through the intermediate locations; and

    instructions for, in response to the user leaving the location and visiting a second location, recalculating the list of suggested destination locations and deleting destination locations that are no longer part of the matching sequences that include the second location, and transmitting the recalculated list of suggested destination locations to the device for display on the display screen.
