Abstract
Architectures and techniques are presented that can leverage safety metrics such as crime or health-based statistics at various geographic locations to supplement or improve navigation application searches or results. For example, navigation search results can be tagged with safety metric alert indicia if a location associated with a search result (or a location associated with a path to the point of interest of the search result) does not satisfy a defined safety metric. As another example, navigation search results can be generated as a function of the defined safety metric rather than merely as a function of distance, thereby operating to filter results that do not satisfy the safety metric, whether filtering a particular point of interest or filtering a path to a selected point of interest.
