15. A system for planning a route from a starting point to a destination, comprising:
-
a non-safety data source configured to store non-safety data; a safety data source configured to store safety data; a processor coupled to the non-safety and safety data sources and configured to; generate a plurality of routes based on the non-safety data, evaluate the plurality of routes based on the safety data, select a first route from the plurality of routes based on the safety data, and generate driving instructions based on the first route; and a display device coupled to the processor and configured to receive the driving instructions and to generate a user display based on the driving instructions. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for planning a route from a starting point to a destination, comprising:
-
a user interface configured to receive an indication of the destination from a user; a current location data source configured to determine the starting point; a non-safety data source configured to store non-safety data; a safety data source configured to store safety data; a processor coupled to the user interface, the current location data source, the non-safety data source and the safety data source and configured to generate a plurality of routes from the starting point to the destination based on the non-safety data, evaluate the plurality of routes based on the safety data, select a first route from the plurality of routes based on the safety data, and generate driving instructions based on the first route; and a display device coupled to the processor and configured to receive the driving instructions and to generate a user display based on the driving instructions.
