Intuitive preview of upcoming navigational instructions

摘要

Systems and methods for providing an intuitive preview of upcoming navigational instructions are provided. One example method for providing navigational instruction includes obtaining, by one or more computing devices, navigational information describing a sequence of navigational maneuvers associated with a route. The method includes determining, by the one or more computing devices, a distance between each navigational maneuver and the previous sequential navigational maneuver. The method includes displaying, by the one or more computing devices, a user interface providing a sequence of indicators respectively representing the sequence of navigational maneuvers. A space between each indicator and the previous sequential indicator is proportional to the distance between the navigational maneuver represented by such indicator and the navigational maneuver represented by the previous sequential indicator.

1. A method for providing navigational instruction, the method comprising:
obtaining, by one or more computing devices, navigational information describing a sequence of navigational maneuvers associated with a route; determining, by the one or more computing devices, a distance between each navigational maneuver and the previous sequential navigational maneuver; determining, by the one or more computing devices, a current speed at which a user is travelling; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, which of the sequence of navigational maneuvers the user is expected to reach within a threshold amount of time based at least in part on the current speed at which the user is travelling; and displaying, by the one or more computing devices, a user interface providing a sequence of indicators respectively representing the sequence of navigational maneuvers, wherein the sequence of indicators provided in the user interface represent only the navigational maneuvers that the user is expected to reach within the threshold amount of time; wherein a space between each indicator and the previous sequential indicator is proportional to the distance between the navigational maneuver represented by such indicator and the navigational maneuver represented by the previous sequential indicator.
