Method and apparatus for providing group route recommendations

An 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 and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
• determine at least one group of two or more users within proximity of at least one location-based event, wherein proximity is established based on one or more of a global positioning system sensor or cellular triangulation associated with each of the users;
• determine one or more privacy settings of the two or more users, to the at least one group, or a combination thereof;
• process one or more datasets associated with the at least one group to cause, at least in part, a determination of whether to provide for recommendation of attending the at least one location-based event to the at least one group;
• cause, at least in part, a presentation of the at least one location-based event and one or more alternative travel routes to the at least one location-based event to each of the two or more users of the at least one group from their respective current positions based, at least in part, on the determination of whether to recommend;
• determine one or more responses from the at least one group, the two more users, or a combination thereof to the presentation of the at least one location-based event;
• and cause, at least in part, an initiation of one or more services to assist the group, the two or more users, or a combination thereof to attend the at least one location-based event, wherein (a) the determination of whether to recommend;
• (b) the presentation of the at least one location-based event;
• or (c) a combination thereof is based, at least in part, on the one or more privacy settings, and wherein the one or more responses are provided via an input to a user interface.
