Abstract: An approach is provided for determining location offset information. A correction manager determines to present, at a device, a location-based display including one or more representations of one or more location-based features. Next, the correction manager receives an input for specifying offset information for at least one of the one or more representations with respect to the location-based display. Then, the correction manager determines to present the one or more representations in the location-based display based, at least in part, on the offset information.

Abstract: An approach is provided for providing a map view that compliments an augmented reality view while a user navigates and interacts within a scene. A mapping platform determines a virtual floor surface of at least one presentation of a perspective-based display of location information. A mapping platform causes, at least in part, a rendering of a partial map view on the virtual floor surface, wherein the partial map view provides an alternate view of the location information.

Abstract: An approach is provided for providing an interactive perspective-based point of interest layout in an augmented reality view. The layout platform determines at least one zoom level for rendering of one or more representations of one or more items in a perspective-based display based, at least in part, on at least one push interaction or at least one pull interaction in the perspective-based display. The layout platform causes, at least in part, a rendering of the one or more representations based, at least in part, on the at least one zoom level.

Abstract: An approach is provided for providing guidance information to a user. A request is received, from a device, for guidance information to a destination, wherein the guidance information includes, at least in part, instructions for following a route to the destination. A plurality of candidate reference points associated with the route are determined. One or more of the plurality of candidate reference points are selected to include in the instructions based on saliency of the one or more candidate reference points with respect to one or more comprehension parameters associated with a user. The instructions are generated based on the one or more selected reference points. The comprehension parameters relate to the ability of the user to recognize the selected one or more reference points.
