  • Publication number: 20210335128
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a navigation application that uses a novel traffic notification scheme for providing traffic related notifications during a navigation presentation that is provided by a device. While providing a navigation presentation, the application iteratively monitors traffic conditions along the route. When traffic conditions meet a set of one or more threshold criteria, the application identifies a type of traffic notification that it should provide from several possible traffic notifications types. Next, without receiving any input from outside of the device, the application provides a traffic notification that is associated with the selected traffic notification type. In some embodiments, the traffic notification types include a notification (1) relating to traffic congestion along the current route, (2) relating to one or more faster routes that can replace the current route, and (3) regarding a road closure or extreme delay along the current route.

  • Patent number: 9891065
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a map application that identifies several different transit routes from a starting location to a destination location. Each identified transit route includes one or more transit legs that are serviced by different transit vehicles of different transit lines. The map application also identifies a set of incidents that are associated with one or more transit legs of one or more of the identified transit routes. The map application of some embodiments then ranks the transit routes based on a set of criteria and the identified set of incidents. The map application displays, in a display area, a representation of a highest ranked transit route over a portion of a map presentation.
