Abstract
Techniques are provided for presenting a route using a route presentation that provides both a context map and one or more detail route maps. Narrative instructions for the route also may be presented. The presentation of the context map and the one or more detail route maps may be interactive. The route presentation also may be user controllable such that a user may control the portions of a route that are printed. The route presentation also may include a re-routing feature that allows a user to request that a new route be identified that avoids a particular maneuver or maneuvers in a route.

1-21. (canceled)
A computer-implemented method for providing a travel route, the method comprising the following operations performed by at least one processor:
- determining a first route between an origin and a destination, the determined first route comprising a plurality of maneuvers;
- simultaneously presenting, on a display device, the first route and an avoid indicator, the avoid indicator being associated with at least one of the plurality of maneuvers;
- receiving an indication that a user has selected the avoid indicator;
- and
- determining, in response to the indication, a second route between the origin and the destination that excludes the at least one maneuver.
A system for providing a travel route, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to:
- determine a first route between an origin and a destination, the determined first route comprising a plurality of maneuvers;
- simultaneously present, on a display device, the first route and an avoid indicator, the avoid indicator being associated with at least one of the plurality of maneuvers;
- receive an indication that a user has selected the avoid indicator;
- and
- determine, in response to the indication, a second route between the origin and the destination that excludes the at least one maneuver.
A computer-readable storage medium that comprises a set of instructions that are executable by at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to perform a method for providing a travel route, the method comprising:
- determining a first route between an origin and a destination, the determined first route comprising a plurality of maneuvers;
- simultaneously presenting, on a display device, the first route and an avoid indicator, the avoid indicator being associated with at least one of the plurality of maneuvers;
- receiving an indication that a user has selected the avoid indicator;
- and
- determining, in response to the indication, a second route between the origin and the destination that excludes the at least one maneuver.
