1. A computer-implemented method for displaying driving directions having multiple maneuvers, the method comprising:
- accessing route information for a route from an origin to a destination;
generating maneuvers for the route based on the route information; and
combining a first maneuver with a second maneuver based at least in part upon the first maneuver being associated with a highway interchange and the second maneuver being associated with the highway interchange; and
presenting the combined route maneuver on a user system.

Abstract
Techniques are provided for reducing the number of maneuvers presented in narrative driving directions for a route from an origin location to a destination location. Maneuvers are combined to reduce the number of maneuvers presented. Maneuvers may be combined based on a maneuver being associated with a highway interchange or maneuvers including a shared reference to a particular road.
