Also provided are solutions for handling map labels and other such features in a tile-based mapping system, such as when a map label crosses map file boundaries. Various processing environments (e.g., servers or other computing devices) can be employed in the system. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
