Driving directions with selective printing

Abstract

In one of many possible embodiments, an exemplary system includes a driving directions subsystem configured to provide data representative of driving directions to an access device communicatively coupled to the driving directions subsystem. The driving directions subsystem is further configured to provide at least one selection tool to the access device. The selection tool enables a user of the access device to select a subset of the driving directions for printing. In certain embodiments, the driving directions include a plurality of driving steps, and the selection tool enables the user of the access device to select, for each driving step, between including the driving step in and omitting the driving step from the printing.

1 . A system comprising:
 a driving directions subsystem configured to
 provide data representative of driving directions to an access device communicatively coupled to said driving directions subsystem, and 
 provide at least one selection tool to the access device, said at least one selection tool enabling a user of the access device to select a subset of said driving directions for printing, said subset including less than all of said driving directions. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said driving directions include a plurality of driving steps, said at least one selection tool enabling the user of the access device to select, for each of said driving steps, between including said driving step in and omitting said driving step from said printing. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein said at least one selection tool enables the user of the access device to select non-consecutive ones of said plurality of driving steps for inclusion in said printing. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said driving directions subsystem is further configured to provide a print control tool to the access device, said print control tool enabling the user of the access device to initiate said printing. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the access device is configured to present a graphical user interface for consideration by the user, said graphical user interface being configured to display said driving directions and said at least one selection tool for consideration by the user. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said graphical user interface is configured to display a selection status for each of said at least one selection tool. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said driving directions include a plurality of driving steps, said at least one selection tool enabling the user of the access device to select, for each of said driving steps, between displaying said driving step and hiding said driving step from view in a graphical user interface. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said driving directions include a plurality of driving steps and said at least one selection tool includes a plurality of selection tools, said driving directions subsystem being further configured to associate each of said selection tools with a different one of said driving steps. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein said plurality of selection tools is configured to direct the access device to:
 identify at least one of said driving steps for inclusion in said printing when a first of said selection tools is selected, said first of said selection tools being associated with said at least one of said driving steps; and   identify at least another of said driving steps for omission from said printing when a second of said selection tools is selected, said at least another of said selection tools being associated with said second of said driving steps.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein said plurality of selection tools is configured to direct the access device to:
 display said at least one of said driving steps in a graphical user interface when said first of said selection tools is selected; and   hide said at least another of said driving steps from view in said graphical user interface when said second of said selection tools is unselected.
