1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
an output device in communication with the processor; and
storage accessible to the processor and bearing instructions executable by the processor to;
access information useful for providing directions to a destination;
based at least in part on the information and based at least in part on identification of at least one point of interest associated with a future event, output directions to the destination on the output device along with an indication of a location associated with the at least one point of interest, the at least one point of interest associated with the future event being identified based at least in part on the future event being associated with a device associated with a contact in a contact data structure, the indication of the location associated with the point of interest being output based at least in part on identifying that the device associated with the contact communicated with the apparatus on a recurring basis at the location.

15. A method, comprising:
-
accessing, using an apparatus, information useful for providing directions to a destination; outputting, based at least in part on the information and based at least in part on identification of at least one point of interest associated with a future event, directions to the destination on an output device along with an indication of a location associated with the at least one point of interest, the at least one point of interest associated with the future event being identified based at least in part on the future event being associated with a device associated with a contact in a contact data structure, the indication of the location associated with the point of interest being output based at least in part on identifying that the device associated with the contact communicated with the apparatus on a recurring basis at the location. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A computer readable storage medium (CRSM) that is not a transitory signal, the computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor of an apparatus to:
-
access information useful for providing directions to a destination; based at least in part on the information and based at least in part on identification of at least one point of interest associated with a future event, output directions to the destination on an output device along with an indication of a location associated with the at least one point of interest, the at least one point of interest associated with the future event being identified based at least in part on the future event being associated with a device associated with a contact in a contact data structure, the indication of the location associated with the point of interest being output based at least in part on identifying that the device associated with the contact communicated with the apparatus on a recurring basis at the location. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
