  • Digital map system
    Publication number: 20050209774
    Abstract: A method of broadcasting a digital traffic map is disclosed. The method comprises transmitting to a plurality of receivers a first road segment having a first segment first endpoint and a first segment second endpoint, and transmitting to a plurality of receivers a second road segment having a second segment first endpoint and a second segment second endpoint. The first segment and the second segment are combined together to form a portion of the digital map.
