Intelligent route navigation

A system for providing navigation instructions to a user for reaching a destination via a planned route on a map of a navigation system, said map comprising a plurality of road segments, at least a subset of said road segments comprising an assigned familiarity score, the system comprising:

• an input device configured to receive user input including the destination;
• a display device configured to display at least a portion of the planned route, wherein the planned route comprises one or more road segments;
• an audio device configured to output navigation instructions associated with the planned route;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• track the user's travel along the one or more road segments of the planned route;
• calculate an updated familiarity score of the one or more road segments of the planned route using an updating variable based on at least one dynamically obtained actual weather condition;
• and
• store the updated familiarity score in a data storage of the navigation system.
