Navigation device and method for emphasizing a map route

摘要

A method, a device and a computer readable medium are disclosed for navigation. The method includes determining map information for display on an integrated input and display device of a navigation device, based upon a determined route of travel of the navigation device; and differentiating at least a portion of the map information within a threshold distance of the determined route of travel, from other map information, to thereby emphasize the determined route of travel. The navigation device includes a processor to determine map information for subsequent display, based upon a determined route of travel of the navigation device, the processor further being useable to control display of at least a portion of the map information, determined to be within a threshold distance of the determined route of travel, in a manner differentiated from display of other map information, to thereby emphasize the determined route of travel.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
determining, by a processor, map information for display on a display device of a navigation device, based upon a determined route of travel of the navigation device; scanning, by the processor, the determined map information to detect an edge of a building footprint; determining, by the processor, that the edge of the building footprint is within a threshold distance of the determined route of travel; and in response to determining that the edge of the building footprint is within the threshold distance, causing, by the processor, the building footprint to be differentiated to thereby emphasize the determined route of travel, wherein the differentiating includes highlighting the building footprint so that the building footprint is displayed with at least some color emphasis that is different than buildings having building footprints further than the threshold distance from the determined route of travel; and displaying, using the navigation device, the determined map information and the differentiated building footprints.
