  • Systems and methods for decluttering electronic map displays
    Publication number: 20110010650
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for decluttering an electronic map display. According to one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided for decluttering an electronic map display. The method includes receiving information about points-of-interest (POIs) to be represented on the electronic map display, and determining whether icons representative of the POIs would overlap if displayed concurrently. The method further includes grouping the icons that would overlap into at least one overlapping icon group, and displaying on the electronic map a group icon representative of the overlapping icon group.
