Abstract
A method and system for providing user preference based route calculation whereby criteria based digital map data associated with one or more user criteria is generated and/or obtained. When a user makes a request for a map and/or directions from a first point to a second point that includes one or more user route criteria, the criteria based digital map data is searched based, at least in part, on the one or more user route criteria and one or more potential routes are determined that most closely match the one or more user route criteria. One or more user criteria based maps and/or sets of directions are then generated associated with the one or more potential routes that most closely match the one or more user route criteria. Data representing the one or more user criteria based maps and/or sets of directions is then provided to the user.
