• storing route information, the route information comprising geographical positions of roads and designated lanes of travel for each of a plurality of segments along the route;
• receiving a series of images captured by the camera along the route;
• analyzing the series of images to determine one or more available lanes of travel along the route;
• identifying one or more of the designated lanes from the one or more available lanes based on the analyzing of the series of images and the route information;
• and
• displaying the series of images along with a navigational layer superimposed over the series of images to the user, the navigational layer indicating the one or more designated lanes.
