Abstract
A method of operating a navigation system determines a route between an origin and a destination and provides a photographic image showing a geographic area through which the route passes.

The route highlight includes a symbol indicating at least one feature of the route selected from a group consisting of handicap accessible route, tree-lined route, well-lit route, quiet route, scenic route, crowded route, peaceful route, and bicycle friendly route.
