1. A method comprising:
- obtaining a current location and a destination at a user navigation system;
obtaining prior route information corresponding to routes taken by the user;
generating directions corresponding to a prior route for communication to the user to aid in navigation from the current location to the destination, wherein the directions corresponding to the prior route are modified based on the prior route information and user familiarity with the prior route to reduce a granularity of the directions;
receiving additional information regarding a route between the current location and the destination; and
further modifying the modified generated directions based on the received additional information.
