Abstract
A system and method for adapting the routing information provided by a mapping or routing device. In accordance with an embodiment, the system comprises a data collection component (e.g., one or more GPS, accelerometer, or other means of determining location and/or movement), and a route calculation logic that can use information about a first geographical location (origin), and a second geographical location (destination), to calculate a routing information, such as driving directions that a user can follow to drive from the origin to the destination. An information filtering application adapts the amount of information that will be presented to the user at a particular location, moment in time, or based on other criteria. In accordance with an embodiment, the information filtering application can, in some instances, be provided as a third-party application.
