Abstract:
1. A method of generating a route across an electronic map representative of an area using processing circuitry to generate a set of cost functions associated with at least one route planning profile comprising: creating information for at least one example route by at least one of: a user categorizing existing information relating to a route as belonging to at least one particular route planning profile, and a user inputting information to create an example route for at least one particular route planning profile; the example route being a route that a user knows to have a predominance of desirable or undesirable features for the particular route planning profile; collecting the created information relating to said at least one example route associated with the at least one route planning profile; processing the information relating to the at least one example route to generate one or more cost functions to be used with the at least one route planning profile; and using the one or more cost functions to generate a route across the electronic map for that route planning profile.
