Abstract:
A method of providing route information to a plurality of users by means of a data processing device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises: receiving a first location and a second location; analysing mapping services and/or geographical or other databases or information and thereby determining a pair of routes, each route comprising a start point, an end point and a defined path from the start point to the end point, the step of analysing comprising determining the routes such that (a) a first one of the routes is in the vicinity of the first location and a second one of the routes is in the vicinity of the second location and (b) the routes are of comparable difficulty for the users to complete; and providing the first route to a first one of the users and providing the second route to a second one of the users. These and other embodiments are disclosed herein.

Claim (Index 13):
A method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the step of analysing comprises determining the routes to be comparable by the steps of:\n determining a first candidate route; determining a second candidate route; comparing the candidate routes and if they are not the same or within an acceptable level of similarity; subsequently modifying either or both of the first and second candidate routes so that they are the same or within an acceptable level of similarity; and selecting the candidate routes after appropriate modification to either or both of them; wherein the step of modifying involves processes aimed not simply at identifying comparable routes in terms of difficulty but comparable routes optimised for greatest convenience, safety or other benefits for or goals specified by users.
