发明名称 Customizable presentation of navigation directions
摘要 Presentation of navigation directions in mapping applications is customized by obtaining navigation instructions that direct a user from a starting point to a destination. The navigation instructions are displayed via a user interface. For each of the navigation instructions, an individually operable user control for specifying an instruction-specific presentation rule is provided. Instruction-specific presentation rules are received prior to the user departing from the starting point toward the destination. The navigation instructions are presented during navigation in accordance with the received instruction-specific presentation rules.

主权项 1. A method for customizing presentation of navigation directions, the method comprising: obtaining, at one or more processors, a plurality of navigation instructions which direct a user from a starting point to a destination; displaying, by the one or more processors, the plurality of navigation instructions via a user interface; providing, by the one or more processors to the user for each of the plurality of navigation instructions, a separate, individually operable user control for specifying an instruction-specific presentation rule, via the user interface, the instruction-specific presentation rule specifying a manner in which a corresponding navigation instruction is presented to the user, wherein the separate, individually operable user control includes (i) a first option to select a number of times the corresponding navigation instruction is repeated and (ii) a second option to select at least another one of the plurality of navigation instructions to combine with the corresponding navigation instruction into a single navigation instruction; prior to the user departing from the starting point toward the destination, receiving, by the one or more processors from the user interface, instruction-specific presentation rules, in accordance with which the plurality of navigation instructions is presented during navigation, wherein at least two navigation instructions correspond to different instruction-specific presentation rules; and when the user departs from the starting point toward the destination, providing, by the one or more processors to the user, each of the plurality of navigation instructions in accordance with the instruction-specific presentation rule for the corresponding navigation instruction as the user approaches a location corresponding to the navigation instruction, wherein at least some of the plurality of navigation instructions are presented audibly or visually.
