Abstract: A computer-based method is provided for providing analytical features at a navigation device. The method includes determining, by a position determining module of the navigation device, a first location of the navigation device associated with a first time. The method then proceeds to determine a second location of the navigation device associated with a second time and associates the first and second locations with coordinates on a first graph edge of a map, determines a travel direction based on a sequence of the locations, and determines a current location of the navigation device. An inferred path defining a travel path is then based on coordinates associated with the first and second locations, the travel direction, and the current location, and mapping data associated with the likely travel path is analyzed to identify a characteristic of interest of the likely travel path.
