causing a conversion of one or more completed route segments to inactive status, a notification of at least one current active route segment, or a combination thereof; and

causing a presentation of the notification as at least one push notification to the at least one embedded system, the one or more portable devices, or a combination thereof.

8. A method of claim 1 , further comprising:

causing a detection of a plurality of similar active route segments in the at least one embedded system, the one or more portable devices, or a combination thereof; and

causing a storing of a newest active route segment, a deactivating of at least one old active route segment, or a combination thereof at the at least one embedded system, the one or more portable devices, or a combination thereof.

9. A method of claim 1 , further comprising:

causing a modification of the multi-modal navigation in the at least one embedded system, the one or more portable devices, or a combination thereof based, at least in part, on user preference, user interaction, or a combination thereof,

wherein the user interaction includes a touch-based interaction with a mapping user interface associated with the at least one embedded system, the one or more portable devices, or a combination thereof.

10. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following;

cause an authentication of at least one user at an embedded system;

cause an association of the at least one user with at least one cloud account associated with the embedded system;

cause a registration of one or more portable devices associated with the at least one user to the at least one cloud account;

cause a synchronization of at least one function, data associated with the at least one function, or a combination thereof between the at least one embedded system and the one or more portable devices based on the registration;

determine a cancellation of a multi-modal navigation in the at least one embedded system before a destination; and

cause an initiation of the multi-modal navigation in the one or more portable devices.

11. An apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the authentication includes predefined values, a preset username and password, user identification, device identification, other authentication mechanisms, or a combination thereof.

12. An apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

receive an input from the at least one user to access the embedded system; and

cause a selection of at least one vehicle linked to the cloud account associated with the embedded system,

wherein a newly added vehicle is selected from the plurality of linked vehicles.

13. An apparatus of claim 10 , wherein determination of the multi-modal routing information further causes the apparatus to:

determine that the at least one embedded system, the one or more portable devices, or a combination thereof is within at least one distance threshold from at least one waypoint; and

process and/or facilitate a processing of location information, mapping information, or a combination thereof to generate a recommendation of at least one walking segment, at least one driving segment, at least one transport line, or a combination thereof.

14. An apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

cause a linking of the one or more portable devices, the embedded system, the cloud, or a combination thereof; and

cause the synchronization of the recommendation among the at least one embedded system, the one or more portable devices, or a combination thereof for real-time transmission.

15. An apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

determine that the at least one embedded system, the one or more portable devices, or a combination thereof exceeds the at least one distance threshold; and

cause a notification to the one or more portable devices guiding the at least one user back to the vehicle.

16. An apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

cause a conversion of one or more completed route segments to inactive status, a notification of at least one current active route segment, or a combination thereof; and

cause a presentation of the notification as at least one push notification to the at least one embedded system, the one or more portable devices, or a combination thereof.

17. A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform:
