• when map data corresponding to the event occurrence point is not available as part of the performed route guidance:
• map the travel route history to the one or more approach routes;
• determine the vehicle is scheduled to pass through the event occurrence point when the mapping of the travel route history to the one or more approach routes confirms that a reference number of route points in a recent sequence of the travel route history coincides with a reference number of route points from a start point of one or more approach routes;
• and
• control presentation of a warning for the event based on the determination the vehicle is scheduled to pass through the event occurrence point.
