Claim:
A method of presenting a route of maneuvers in a vehicle to a user comprising: calculating a set of driving maneuvers usable to proceed from a first location that is a present location of the vehicle to a second location selected by the user; calculating the number of maneuvers in the set of driving maneuvers; determining whether the number of maneuvers in the set of driving maneuvers exceeds a predetermined maximum acceptable number of driving maneuvers; presenting the set of driving maneuvers if the number of maneuvers in the set of driving maneuvers does not exceed the predetermined maximum acceptable number of driving maneuvers; and if the number of maneuvers in the set of driving maneuvers exceeds the predetermined maximum acceptable number of driving maneuvers, reducing the set of driving maneuvers to create a preview set including the first location and the second location as well as a subset of driving maneuvers between the first location and the second location, wherein reducing the set of driving maneuvers to create a preview set comprises leaving a first portion of consecutive instructions of the set starting at the first location unreduced while reducing a second portion of the set, and presenting the preview set to the user via a navigational display.
