  • Patent number: 10491599
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of compiling map data is disclosed. The method includes a server receiving an authorization request from a remote programmable device, the authorization request including user authentication information. The server compares the authorization request with authorization data to determine a user authorization level. The server receives from the device first geocoordinates, a first property location identifier, and a first location description. A property authorization level includes at least three different levels of access. When the user authorization level matches or exceeds the property authorization level, the server incorporates one or more of the first geocoordinates, the first property location identifier, and the first location description into a database comprising a plurality of geocoordinates.
