Abstract

Lane-specific driving directions are generated using route data that describes a route between an origin and a destination as a sequence of route segments, and lane data for at least several route segments included in the sequence of route segments. The sequence of route segments includes a pair of adjacent multi-lane route segments that includes a first multi-lane route segment more proximate to the destination and a second multi-lane route segment more proximate to the origin, connected at a road junction. To determine a recommended lane connection at the road junction, a lane in the first multi-lane route segment is selected, and a lane in the second multi-lane route segment is selected based on the lane selected in the first multi-lane segment.
