Does MVC 4 has a built in sitemap solution?

Question

I was looking at ASP.NET MVC 4 and it appears that System.Web.SiteMapProvider doesn't have support for MVC features like controller and action names.

After a quick search I noticed a lot of people are creating their all provider and/or custom solution.

So it made me think: is there a reason the MVC team didn't work on a MVC Site MAP provider? Is there a more elegant way, or even a best practice to deal with menus and breadcrumbs on a large project?

I appreciate any comments. Thanks in advance;

No there is nothing built-in for SiteMaps in ASP.NET MVC.

You should look at MvcSiteMapProvider which is an ASP.NET MVC SiteMapProvider implementation for ASP.NET MVC - although I dont think it has been tested with MVC 4.

MvcSiteMapProvider is based on areas, controller and action method names as opposed to fixed URL references.
