to present a navigation directions preview, a server device receives a request for navigation directions from a starting location to a destination location and generates a set of navigation directions in response to the request. the set of navigation directions includes a set of route segments for traversing from the starting location to the destination location. the server device selects a subset of the route segments based on characteristics of each route segment in the set of route segments. for each selected route segment, the server device provides a preview of the route segment to be displayed on a client device. the preview of the route segment includes panoramic street level imagery depicting the route segment.
