Abstract
To provide navigation directions in response to a request for viewing a particular type of geographical feature on a route to a destination, a computing device receives a request for navigation directions from a starting location to a destination that specifies a particular type of geographical feature for viewing on a route to the destination. The computing device identifies at least one candidate route for navigating to the destination location that includes a road segment from which the particular type of geographical feature can be viewed, and selects a route from the set of candidate routes based at least in part on an extent to which the particular type of geographical feature can be viewed from each candidate route. Then the computing device provides a set of navigation directions for presentation on a client device for navigating to the destination location via the selected route.
