Harvesting addresses

A method of harvesting addresses on a first device of a plurality of devices, the method implemented by a computing device that includes one or more processors and a memory device, the method comprising:

• storing location data for the first device in a first data storage over time;
• identifying, from the location data, a location where the first device was located for at least a threshold time period;
• generating, from the identified location, a machine-generated physical address that is distinct from a first plurality of physical addresses harvested from a plurality of applications executing on the first device, the plurality of applications including a mapping application;
• and
• presenting, by a user interface of the mapping application, a traffic notification for traffic along a route to the machine-generated physical address, the traffic notification including a route segment indicator for a route segment of a route to the machine-generated physical address and a traffic level descriptor indicating a traffic level along the route segment.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to perform operations comprising:
• storing location data for the first device in a first data storage over time;
• identifying, from the location data, a location where the first device was located for at least a threshold time period;
• generating, from the identified location, a machine-generated physical address that is distinct from a first plurality of physical addresses harvested from a plurality of applications executing on the first device, the plurality of applications including a mapping application;
• and
• presenting, by a user interface of the mapping application, a traffic notification for traffic along a route to the machine-generated physical address, the traffic notification including a route segment indicator for a route segment of a route to the machine-generated physical address and a traffic level descriptor indicating a traffic level along the route segment.
