Abstract
A method and system for providing a closed route for travel features a database having geographic information and input information including a starting point and a desired route length. The geographic information from the database and the input information are processed to define an outbound path from the starting point to a turning point, the turning point determined based on the desired route length, and to define an inbound path from the turning point to the starting point, the outbound path and the inbound path together defining the closed route. A representation of the closed route may be output as a static map, interactive map or a turn-by-turn listing.
