Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for route normalization, comprising: determining, by one or more computing devices, a starting point, a destination point, and a first route between the starting point and the destination point, based on a set of historical location points previously generated by one or more location input sources; determining the starting point and the destination point based on respective clusterings of the historical location points; determining, by the one or more computing devices, that the set of historical location points includes an intermediate waypoint that is more than a predetermined distance away from the first route; in response to determining that the set of historical location points includes the intermediate waypoint, generating, by the one or more computing devices, an alternate route between the starting point and the destination point and including the intermediate waypoint more than the predetermined distance away from the first route; and wherein the one or more location input sources comprise Global Positioning System (GPS) location data.
