USER GEOGRAPHIC AREA FAMILIARITY BASED NAVIGATION INSTRUCTIONS

摘要

A familiarity that a user of a navigation device has with each of multiple geographic areas is determined. A route to a destination is identified and navigation instructions are provided to the user as he or she travels along the route. The instructions provided to the user along the route are generated based on the familiarity of the user with one or more geographic areas along the route. This generation of instructions can include delaying the start of providing instructions to the user, adapting the level of guidance provided to the user, adapting the aggressiveness of route recalculation, combinations thereof, and so forth.
