  • Patent number: 10244361
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6703947
    Abstract: A method for organizing and compressing spatial data to enable fast, incremental downloads of spatial data over a network. The method comprises multiple steps for segmenting and reducing spatial data, and introduces a location-relevant naming system for storing and accessing the data. Applications installed on remote devices are able to efficiently compute data file names based solely on location information, download the data over a network and cache the data on the device.
