Abstract
Systems, methods, and technologies are provided for enhanced navigation instruction. In one implementation, a first input is received with respect to a device. The first input is processed to determine a navigation initiation instance with respect to the device. Based on the navigation initiation instance, a navigation destination is identified. Based on the identified navigation destination, a navigation route associated with the device is identified. An alternative route is computed based on a current location of the device and the identified navigation destination. The identified navigation route is compared with the computed alternative route. The alternative route is identified as preferable to the identified navigation route with respect to one or more criteria and above a defined threshold. A degree of familiarity of a user with the alternative route is determined. Notifications are generated based on the determined degree of familiarity. The notifications are provided via interface(s) of the device.
