Navigation application with several navigation modes

摘要

A method for providing navigation instructions on a device is described. As the device traverses a navigated route according to a first mode of transportation, the method displays a first turn-by-turn navigation presentation defined for the first mode. Based on data gathered by the device, the method determines that the device is navigating the route according to a second mode of transportation. The method automatically displays a second, different turn-by-turn navigation presentation defined for the second mode.

1. A device comprising:
a display screen; a set of processing units; and a non-transitory machine readable medium storing a navigation application for execution by at least one processing unit, the navigation application comprising:
a first module configured to (i) present a first version of a map on the display screen when a first navigation mode associated with a first mode of transportation is used to provide navigation instructions along a first route, and (ii) present a second, different version of the map on the display screen when a second navigation mode associated with a second mode of transportation is used to provide navigation instructions along a second route; anda second module configured to automatically identify one of the first navigation mode and second navigation mode as a desired navigation mode for a current mode of transportation, wherein the second module identifies the second navigation mode as the desired navigation mode when the second module (i) detects that the device is at a border of first and second regions, wherein a first set of transportation modes is available in the first region while a different second set of transportation modes is available in the second region, and (ii) determines that the first transportation mode is not a viable transportation mode in the second set of transportation modes for the second region.
