Abstract
A request for directions for traveling to a destination is received via a user interface of a user device, where a mode of transport is not selected via the user interface. A current geographic context of the user device is determined, and suggested mode of transport for travelling to the destination is determined based on the current geographic context. Directions for travelling to the destination using the suggested mode of transport are obtained and provided via the user interface of the user device.
