Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing navigation services including illumination data. A request for a route is received with one or more preferences related to illumination for the route. One or more road segments that have illumination road attributes that correspond to the one or more preferences are selected. The illumination road attributes are calculated as a function of high beam frequency for the one or more road segments. The route is generated including the one or more road segments. The route is provided with the illumination road attributes.
Claims20
A method for providing navigation services, the method comprising:
- receiving a request for a route and one or more preferences related to illumination for the route;
- selecting, by a processor, one or more road segments that have illumination values that correspond to the one or more preferences;
- wherein the illumination values are calculated as a function of high beam frequency or high beam values for the one or more road segments;
- generating, by the processor, the route including the one or more road segments;
- and
- providing, by the processor, the route.
An apparatus for providing navigation services, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs;
- the at least one memory configured to store the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least perform:
- identify an upcoming road segment with a roadway illumination value;
- wherein the roadway illumination value is calculated as a function of high beam data;
- and
- generate and provide a notification for the upcoming road segment based on the roadway illumination value.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that when executed are operable to:
- identify one or more road segments, wherein the one or more road segments each have a roadway illumination value based on high beam frequency data or high beam value data for a respective road segment;
- and
- display a geographic map comprising the one or more road segments;
- wherein the one or more road segments are displayed differently depending on the roadway illumination value for the each of the one or more road segments.
