Abstract:
A computer-implemented method includes initializing a navigation application on a device, determining a current location of the device, and receiving a destination. The method also includes determining whether a known geographical feature is located on a travel path to the destination. The known geographical feature may be derived from a user profile. The method, in response to determining that a known geographical feature is not located on the travel path to the destination, includes outputting graphical and audio directions to the destination. In response to determining that a known geographical feature is located on the travel path to the destination, a sub-method includes determining whether the device is currently in a known area and outputting graphical and audio directions to the known geographical feature in response to determining that the device is not currently in the known area.
