Original Abstract Submitted

To provide media content tailored to a user's route, a computing device receives a request for navigation directions to a destination location, and obtains a set of navigation directions for traveling on a route to the destination location. The computing device also obtains candidate media content items to play during the route, and selects one or more of the candidate media content items to play during the route based on characteristics of the candidate media content items and characteristics of the route. Then the computing device provides the set of navigation directions and an indication of the selected one or more media content items to a user for presentation during the route. The selected one or more media content items are automatically presented upon receiving a selection by the user to initiate a navigation session for traveling along the route in accordance with the set of navigation directions.
