Time-inclusive route and trip planning
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a computing system, at least departure location information from a user device;
receiving, by the computing system, at least departure time information from the user device;
sending, by the computing system, a first recommendation to the user device for a first waypoint based at least in part on the departure location information and the departure time information;
receiving, by the computing system from the user device, a first request to identify more than one additional waypoints, the first request including a time of day; and
sending, by the computing system, waypoint information identifying the more than one additional waypoints to the user device, the waypoint information identifying at least a restaurant and a gas station.

Abstract
Timing information and deeper trip planning can enhance conventional mapping functionality. A user provides a specified time of arrival and/or departure information along with a starting and end point, and receives a travel route with estimated arrival and departure times based on time-specific information, such as traffic or construction at specific times of day. The user can choose or be prompted to add one or more waypoints along the way. The user can get recommendations for hotels, restaurants, points of interest, and other such locations based on location, time of day, travel time, or other such aspects. Upon selecting a waypoint, the amount of time the user will be at that waypoint and the additional driving time are used to adjust one or more other times of the trip, such as the starting or departure times, or times of other waypoints.
