SYSTEM AND METHOD OF WIRELESS DOWNLOADS OF MAP AND GEOGRAPHIC BASED DATA TO PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICES

摘要

Systems and methods of managing map data on electronic devices are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of downloading pushpin data for a map is disclosed. The method includes receiving, from an electronic network, an indication of a current map segment, the current map segment comprising map data for a current location of a device, the current map segment corresponding to a portion of a map displayed on the device, receiving pushpin criteria for the device, identifying pushpin data based on the current map segment and the pushpin criteria, the pushpin data indicating a pushpin location; and transmitting, on the electronic network, the pushpin data.
