Abstract
A direction set can be augmented with up-to-date information such that a route to be taken by a user is changed. A user can request a direction set to take a user along a long route that minimizes cost to a user. A route can be generated using a set of known fuel prices; however, as the user travels, fuel prices can change. New fuel information can be gathered and the route can be modified based upon the gathered information.

- identifying route information that is no longer current;
- and
- amending the route information that is no longer current with modem information.
A system, comprising:
- means for identifying route information that is no longer current;
