==Original Abstract Submitted==

Methods, systems, devices, and tangible non-transitory computer readable media for navigation are provided. The disclosed technology can include accessing navigation data that includes information associated with a navigation request from a user. Based on the navigation data, a determination of whether the navigation request indicates a specific location or a deferred travel time can be made. Based on the navigation request, one or more locations and one or more travel times associated with fulfilling the navigation request can be determined. The one or more locations can be based on whether the navigation request indicates a specific location. The one or more travel times can be based on whether the navigation request indicates a deferred travel time. Furthermore, output including a time window of the one or more travel times for the user to travel to at least one of the one or more locations can be generated.
