Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for providing navigation information, the method comprising: identifying a route; identifying navigational decision points along the route; defining segments of the route; assigning a navigational complexity score to each segment of the route; and generating a nonlinear video preview of the route by time-compressing at least some of the segments based on the score for each segment of the route wherein the video preview of the route comprises more video imagery of portions of the route containing navigational decision points than portions of the route without navigational decision points, the generating including generating slow-motion video imagery of a portion of the route containing a navigational decision point, the slow-motion video imagery having a slower play speed than real-world-speed video and comprising panning side to side at a navigational decision point to provide street-level side view imagery of the navigational decision point.
