A computer-readable memory storing content that, when executed by a computing system having a processor, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a first geographical locality, a second geographical locality, a third geographical locality, and a fourth geographical locality;
- determining a first path between the first geographical locality and the second geographical locality, wherein the first path includes the third geographical locality but does not include the fourth geographical locality;
- determining a second path between the first geographical locality and the second geographical locality, wherein the second path includes the fourth geographical locality but does not include the third geographical locality;
- and
- selecting, by the processor, one of the determined paths between the first geographical locality and the second geographical locality based at least in part on a popularity rating for the third geographical locality and a popularity rating for the fourth geographical locality.
