A method of providing traffic information is described, together with a device for performing the same. The method comprises determining a location of a mobile device, receiving traffic information, and determining, with respect to a trip database storing information indicative of a personal road network of a user of the mobile device, whether traffic information associated with one or more road segments in the personal network within a predetermined distance of the current location has been received. One or more no-jam events are generated for respective road segments in the personal network for which it is determined that no traffic information has been received.

Methods and apparatus for providing travel information

A method of predicting a destination of a user of a mobile device is described, together with a device for performing the same. The method comprises determining a location of the mobile device, and executing a route search algorithm with respect to a trip data-base. The trip database stores information indicative of a personal road network of a user of the mobile device, one or more road segments in the personal road network being associated with a respective destination location, and cost information associated with road segments in the personal network, the cost information being based, at least in part, on traversal information in the trip database.
