Abstract: A method for generating a digital map that can be stored on an electronic storage medium and in which a geographic area is described by a multitude of data sets includes the following steps: a) loading a database, in which the geographic area is described by a multitude of data sets, into an electronic analyzer, wherein the data sets contain several text data sets that describe the text messages (03), particularly street names, to be displayed in the map, b) specifying a resolution for the graphic illustration of at least a section of the digital map with assigned text messages (03) to be displayed on a display unit, c) calculating graphic overlaps (07) of the text messages (03) during the display of the section of the digital map on the display unit in dependence on the specified resolution, d) identifying all text messages (03) that cause graphic overlaps (07), and e) storing text display attributes that are assigned to the text data sets, wherein the text display attributes contain information on which

Abstract: A method for generating a digital map that can be stored on an electronic storage medium and in which a geographic area is described by a multitude of data sets includes the following steps: a) loading an original database (01), in which the geographic area is described by a multitude of data sets, into an electronic analyzer, wherein each data set describes an object of the map, wherein each data set consists of a defined number of attributes, and wherein each attribute may assume a defined number of different attribute values, b) detecting attribute value combinations or attribute value subcombinations that occur in the data sets of the database, c) assigning a distinct combination characteristic to each attribute value combination or attribute value subcombination, d) storing the attribute value combinations or attribute value subcombinations detected in the database with the respectively assigned combination characteristics as a first partial database (02) of the digital map, e) analyzing all data sets
