Patent number: 9696172Abstract: Driving directions are presented where a maneuver in the driving directions includes a road symbol and an action symbol. A road symbol identifies the road involved in the particular maneuver, and an action symbol identifies an action to be performed to execute the particular maneuver. In one example, a road symbol, an action symbol and narrative text may be presented in displayed or printed driving directions. In another example, a road symbol and an action symbol may be used to describe a maneuver presented by an on-board or mobile navigation system when the vehicle in which the navigation system is present approaches the point at which the maneuver is to be taken. The road symbol and the action symbol may be presented with, or without, narrative driving directions.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2016Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Mapquest, Inc.Inventors: Marshall B.

Patent number: 9529855Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for ingesting data, such as point of interest data. According to certain embodiments, a raw data load transmitted over a network is received from a first data source. The raw data load may comprise a plurality of raw data records, which may be stored in a first database. A first plurality of standard data records previously received from the first data source may be accessed and compared to each of the plurality of raw data records to identify at least one added record. The at least one added record may be compared to a second plurality of standard data records received from a second data source to identify a matching record received from the second data source. The at least one added record may be assigned a key from the matching record. Moreover, the updated information may be sent to an update queue, such that applications may be notified of and receive the updates.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: MapQuest, Inc.Inventors: Bryan C.
