Classification: CPC H  G  Y | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. A method of presenting navigation instructions for a route from a starting location to a destination location, the method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:
storing a plurality of distance values in association with a plurality of maneuver types, wherein each distance value of the plurality of distance values represents a distance at which a modification is initiated for navigation signs corresponding respectively to upcoming maneuvers of one of the plurality of maneuver types;
determining that the computing device is traveling toward an upcoming maneuver of the route: presenting, on a display, a first representation of a first navigation sign associated with the upcoming maneuver, the first representation having a first appearance;
determining that the upcoming maneuver has a first maneuver type of the plurality of maneuver types;
determining a threshold distance, for modifying the first representation of the first navigation sign, based on a distance value of the plurality of distance values that is stored in association with the first maneuver type;
while presenting the first representation, determining that a current location of the computing device is within the threshold distance of the upcoming maneuver; and
in response to the determination that the current location is within the threshold distance, generating a second representation of the first navigation sign by modifying the first representation of the first navigation sign, the second representation having a second appearance that is different from the first appearance; and
presenting the second representation of the first navigation sign on the display.
