Abstract
An in-vehicle system and method for presenting a relevancy-graded navigation map to a driver of a vehicle. The relevancy-graded navigation deemphasizes map elements that are not relevant to driving the vehicle. The relevancy-graded navigation map allows the driver to focus more on controlling the vehicle by reducing the amount of time it takes to interpret a navigation map.
