Using routing symbols to describe a driving maneuver

An apparatus, comprising:

• a storage device;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the storage device, wherein the storage device stores a program for controlling the at least one processor, and wherein the at least one processor, being operative with the program, is configured to:
• obtain information associated with a maneuver included within a route from an origin to a destination, the maneuver information comprising a road type and a turn angle associated with the maneuver;
• generate a road symbol for the maneuver based on at least the road type and an action symbol for the maneuver based on at least the turn angle;
• and
• generate an instruction to present the road symbol and the action symbol to a user, the presented road symbol and action symbol describing the maneuver to the user.

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method, comprising:

• obtaining information associated with a maneuver included within a route from an origin to a destination, the maneuver information including a road type and a turn angle associated with the maneuver;
• determining a road symbol for the maneuver based on at least the road type and an action symbol for the maneuver based on at least the turn angle;
• and
• generating an instruction to present the road symbol and the action symbol to a user, the presented road symbol and action symbol describing the maneuver to the user.
