Abstract
A navigation system includes a feature that allows a user to specify a type of point of interest at which the user wishes to make an intermediate stop while on route to a final destination. The feature identifies for the user one point of interest of the specified type at which an intermediate stop can be made while on route to the final destination, wherein a route to the final destination that includes an intermediate stop at the one point of interest takes less time than routes to the final destination that make an intermediate stop at other points of interest of the specified type.
