1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining a first amount of time for a vehicle to travel from a current location to a destination location, wherein the first amount of time is associated with the vehicle traveling along a first route;
determining a second amount of time corresponding to an amount of time required to complete playing of a media asset in the vehicle;
in response to determining that the second amount of time exceeds the first amount of time, determining, based on the second amount of time, a second route for the vehicle to travel from the current location to the destination location, wherein the second route is associated with a third amount of time that is less than or equal to the second amount of time;
generating for display, on a user interface of a device, navigation instructions for the vehicle based on the second route;
while the vehicle is traveling based on the second route, and during the playing of the media asset, detecting via the user interface, a fast-access operation in relation to the playing of the media asset;
based on detecting the fast-access operation, adjusting at least a portion of the navigation instructions corresponding to the second route; and
generating for display, on the user interface of the device, the adjusted portion of the navigation instructions corresponding to the second route.
