1. An apparatus for navigational route selection, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
a touch controller coupled to a display to detect touch input received at the display, the touch input comprising one or more instructions; and
a route selection module for execution by the at least one processor to generate a route based on the touch input received at the display, wherein the route selection module, when executed by the at least one processor, is to;
provide a map of a given area to be displayed on the display;
receive a first indication of a first instruction to designate a first area on the map to be preferred;
provide a designation of the first area as preferred on the map to be displayed on the display;
receive an indication of a second instruction to designate a second area on the map to be acceptable;
provide a designation of the second area as acceptable on the map to be displayed on the display with the designation of the first area as preferred; and
generate the route from a first point to a second point, wherein at least a portion of the generated route passes through the second area based, at least in part, on determining the generated route cannot be completed within the first area.

12. One or more non-transitory computer readable media including code for execution stored thereon, the code when executed by a machine causes the machine to:
-
provide a map of a given area to be displayed on a display; receive a first indication of a first instruction to designate a first area on the map to be preferred; provide a designation of the first area as preferred on the map to be displayed on the display; receive an indication of a second instruction to designate a second area on the map to be acceptable; provide a designation of the second area as acceptable on the map to be displayed on the display with the designation of the first area as preferred; generate a route from a first point to a second point, wherein at least a portion of the generated route passes through the second area based, at least in part, on determining the generated route cannot be completed within the first area; and provide the generated route to be displayed on the display. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for navigational route selection, the method comprising:
-
providing a map of a given area to be displayed on a display; receiving a first indication of a first instruction to designate a first area on the map to be preferred; providing a designation of the first area as preferred on the map to be displayed on the display; receiving an indication of a second instruction to designate a second area on the map to be acceptable; providing a designation of the second area as acceptable on the map to be displayed on the display with the designation of the first area as preferred; generating a route from a first point to a second point, wherein at least a portion of the generated route passes through the second area based, at least in part, on determining the generated route cannot be completed within the first area; and providing the generated route to be displayed on the display. - View Dependent Claims (19)
