Abstract
A navigation service determines that a first user intends to navigate to a shared destination from a first location, at a first time, and that a second user intends to navigate to the shared destination from a second location, at a second time within a threshold interval of the first time. The navigation service notifies the first user using an electronic notification that the second user intends to navigate to the shared destination, receives from the first user an electronic request to coordinate navigation to the shared destination with the second user, and in response to receiving the electronic request, provides navigation directions to the shared destination to a device associated with the first user in view of a progress of the second user toward the shared destination.
