1. A method for determining a travel path, comprising:

  • (a) establishing an interface with a 3rd-party mapping system via an electronic communication device;

    (b) receiving a start point and an end point by a user on the interface for a preselected zone;

    (c) generating input data for the 3rd-party mapping system based on the start and end points;

    (d) providing the input data to the 3rd-party mapping system;

    (e) receiving output data from the 3rd-party mapping system associated with a path from the start point to the end point;

    (f) identifying waypoints in the output data;

    (g) identifying a camera from a predetermined list of cameras of the preselected zone closest to a line between each of the two consecutive waypoints;

    (h) determining a center of a viewing angle of the identified camera from a list of predetermined viewing angles for each of the cameras in the list of cameras of the preselected zone;

    (i) calculating a path from the start point through each of the viewing angle centers to the end point;

    (j) setting the view angle center between each of the two consecutive waypoints as a new start point and iterating steps (c) through (i) until the end point is one of the two consecutive waypoints, at which iteration the incremental path is calculated from a viewing angle center representing the last pair of consecutive waypoints to the end point; and

    (k) displaying the calculated path on the electronic communication device, wherein steps (a) through (k) are adapted to be performed by one or more processors.
