Abstract

Methods, systems and computer program products for providing navigation based on local-driver route deviations are provided. Aspects include monitoring drivers and storing a route that each of the drivers take from an origin to a destination and a number of times that each of the drivers has traveled the route. Aspects also include classifying one or more drivers as local drivers based on a determination that the number of times the one or more drivers traveled the route is greater than a threshold number and receiving a routing request from a driver including a starting point and an endpoint and calculating an expected route from the starting point to the endpoint. Aspects further include calculating a generated route from the starting point to the endpoint, wherein calculating includes determining routes local drivers have taken from the starting point to the endpoint and providing the generated route to the driver.
