Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program product are therefore provided for providing natural guidance using one or more location graphs based on a context of a user. Methods may include: receiving an indication of a location of a user; identifying a location graph of location objects proximate the location of the user; establishing a context of the user; establishing a path among the location objects of the location graph based, at least in part, on the context of the user; generating natural language guidance based on the path among the location objects; and providing natural language guidance to the user. The location of a user may include a location along a route between an origin and a destination, where identifying a location graph of location objects may include identifying a location graph of location objects proximate the route between the origin and the destination.
