ABSTRACT:
I have recognized that for travelers who are familiar with the area of the starting point or destination, i.e., the local areas of a trip, that the first or last several steps of the directions are unnecessary. Therefore, only those steps of the directions that the traveler really wants or needs are delivered to the traveler. Which steps are delivered is based on an indication of the traveler's familiarity with the roads in the area of the starting point and the roads in the area of the destination. To only deliver those steps of the directions that the traveler really needs, streets and highways, collectively herein "roadways", are assigned hierarchical values that indicate generally how well known or how well traveled they are. A set of steps that makes up the complete trip directions from the starting point to the destination is developed as in conventional direction supplying systems. However, in addition to the conventional information that is listed in the steps that make up the directions, the assigned hierarchical familiarity value of each roadway specified is also listed. A determination is then made, based on the listed hierarchical values of the roadways, as to which steps of the directions are to be delivered to the traveler.
