1. A computer-implemented method for identifying deviation points along a route of travel, the method comprising:

  • monitoring a current location of a mobile device of a user traveling along a portion of a predetermined route toward a specified destination location;

    detecting a point of deviation from which the mobile device of the user moves away from the predetermined route based on the monitoring step;

    comparing the detected point of deviation to a database of one or more highway exits and inferring the user'"'"'s intent to stop at one of the highway exits proximate to the detected point of deviation based on the comparison;

    obtaining information related to one or more points of interest associated with the detected point of deviation or the highway exit proximate to the detected point of deviation; and

    interrupting routing of the user to the specified destination location to instead provide routing options to one or more of the points of interest associated with the detected point of deviation or the highway exit, for display to the user via a display of the mobile device based on the obtained information.
