Abstract
A system and method for providing navigational maneuver instructions, where a navigation apparatus is configured to generate navigation map data on a navigation system display. The navigation apparatus may include a communications input for receiving at least one of traffic data and vehicle data. A secondary display apparatus may be communicatively coupled to the navigation system, wherein the navigation system is configured to determine a maneuver instruction sequence based on traffic data and/or vehicle data. The maneuver instruction sequence includes a series of directional instructions for responding to the traffic data and/or vehicle data. At least some of the directional instructions are represented for display as a series of generic navigational indicia.
