Abstract
Navigation systems are often tasked with routing a vehicle to a destination. Navigation device configurations are provided and involve probabilistic evaluation of parking routes in a vicinity of a destination that may be generated and compared, and may be optionally weighted by various factors. The evaluation is performed to identify a parking route with parking opportunities that collectively present a high probability of vacancy as compared with other parking routes, which may be presented to the user and/or appended to a current route of an autonomous vehicle.
