Interface selection in navigation guidance systems

Abstract

Systems, methods, and related technologies are provided for enhanced navigation instruction. In one implementation, a likelihood of non-compliance by a user with the navigation instruction can be determined with respect to a navigation instruction, based on the likelihood of non-compliance by the user with the navigation instruction. One or more interfaces at which to provide a notification that corresponds to the navigation instruction can be selected. The notification can be provided via the selected interface(s). Various other technologies are also disclosed.
