A remote server having at least one processor in communication with one or more databases is configured to predict a congestion of a destination based on traffic information and/or an estimated amount of people at the destination. The one or more databases may include map information and attendance information. The processor is configured to receive a current location and destination input. The processor may be further configured to query the map information for one or more coordinates for the destination within a predefined distance to the current location. The processor may be further configured to query the attendance information to estimate the number of people at the destination based on the one or more coordinates and compare the estimated number of people to one or more predefined congestion values for the destination. The processor may be further configured to output a congestion prediction for the destination based on the comparison.
