Features of a vehicle navigation system are discussed in this disclosure. In particular, systems and methods for identifying glare-prone areas and establishing a route that avoids one or more of the identified glare-prone areas that are determined to be likely to degrade visibility of an environment outside of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the navigation system can be configured to calculate the likely duration of a trip and then based on sun angle data identify locations where glare is likely to be problematic. In some embodiments, the navigation system can also be configured to choose routes that avoid bright sources of light that could adversely affect visual acuity at night.
