Abstract

A system is disclosed in which maps and travel directions are generated, on the basis of subjective criteria input by the user in a mapping and travel direction inquiry, using data comprising objective geographic road data and subjective links to selectable criteria. The disclosed method of generating driving direction information, comprises creating a database comprising roads and subjective assessment information, of at least one type, associated with at least some of the roads. A driving direction information request associated with at least one of the subjective assessment information types is received from a requester. Driving direction information based, at least in part, on the subjective assessment information is generated and transmitted to the requester. The subjective assessment information includes the identification of the class of the requester. The generation of driving direction information is based more heavily on data collected from individuals of the specified class of requesters and feedback relating to problem areas on the route.
