A method (100) for evaluating a navigational route is disclosed. The method comprises receiving an evaluation request from a user device, the evaluation request comprising a navigational route between an origin and a destination and a specification of a communication network resource (120), processing the evaluation request by determining an availability of the specified communication network resource along the navigational route (140),and responding to the evaluation request by sending an indication of the determined availability to the user device (160). Also disclosed is a method performed by a user device for evaluating a navigational route. The method (300) comprises receiving a route request comprising an origin and a destination (310), calculating a navigational route between the origin and the destination (320), and specifying a communication network resource for the route request (330). The method also comprises sending an evaluation request to an evaluation function, the evaluation request comprising the calculated navigational route and the specification of a communication network resource (350), and receiving a response to the evaluation request, the response comprising an indication of availability of the specified communication network resource along the navigational route (360). Also disclosed are a user device (600, 800), network element (500, 700), computer program and computer readable media for carrying out methods for evaluating a navigational route. |
