Selection and insertion of static elements in digital maps

摘要

A navigation system may display route information that includes a display of the fixtures that are located on or near the route. The fixtures may be selected and inserted into the digital map as graphical objects. The graphical objects may be classified into a class and at least one sub-class. The classification data may be used to select and generate the graphical objects.

主权项

1. A method for to insert at least one a graphical object corresponding to a fixture in a digital map comprising:
providing data relating to at least one a fixture class in a lookup table database, where the data includes statistical information about characteristics of a graphical object representing the fixture to be generated; determining at least one a position in the digital map; retrieving the data related to the at least one fixture class stored in the lookup table database;computing a value for a first piece of statistical information for the graphical object based on a second piece of the statistical information for the fixture class in the lookup table database;
generating at least one the graphical object based at least in part on the computed value for the first piece of statistical information for the graphical object representing the at least one fixture based on the statistical information included in the data related to the at least one fixture class stored in the lookup table database; inserting the graphical object at the determined at least one position on the digital map; and displaying a geometrically and dimensionally accurate representation of the graphical object at the determined at least one position.
