摘要

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided to facilitate determining abbreviations of a term for conveying navigation information based on one or more other terms of the navigation information. In the context of a method, one or more terms for conveying navigation information are determined. The method may also determine at least one abbreviation for at least one term of the one or more terms so that the at least one abbreviation is unambiguous with respect to other one or more of the one or more terms.

1. A method comprising:
determining a first navigation route from a set of navigation information, the first navigation route comprising a plurality of terms as a subset of the navigation information; determining a first abbreviation for a term of the first navigation route to be one or more characters comprised by the term of the first navigation route, such that the first abbreviation is different than abbreviations of other terms of the first navigation route; causing a presentation of a navigation guidance instruction that comprises a representation of the first abbreviation; determining a second navigation route from the set of navigation information, the second navigation route comprising a different plurality of terms as a subset of the navigation information, wherein at least one term of the second navigation route is different compared to the terms of the first navigation route; determining a second abbreviation for a term of the second navigation route to be one or more characters comprised by the term of the second navigation route, such that the second abbreviation is different than abbreviations of other terms of the second navigation route, wherein the term of the second navigation route is the same as the term of the first navigation route and the second abbreviation is different from the first abbreviation; and causing a presentation of a navigation guidance instruction that comprises a representation of the second abbreviation.
