1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor of a vehicle, a route from a start location to a destination location for the vehicle;
acquiring, by the processor, projected environmental information associated with a first portion in the route the vehicle is expected to traverse, the projected environmental information indicating low visibility in the first portion in the route;
acquiring, by the processor, projected network availability information associated with a second portion in the route the vehicle is expected to traverse; and
determining, by the processor, whether to download map information associated with the first portion of the route based on (1) the projected environmental information and (2) the projected network availability information.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
a processor configured to obtain a route from a start location to a destination location for a vehicle, the processor further configured to determine whether to download map information associated with a first portion of the route based on (1) acquired projected environmental information associated with the first portion in the route the vehicle is expected to traverse, the projected environmental information indicating low visibility in the first portion in the route, and (2) acquired projected network availability information associated with a second portion in the route the vehicle is expected to traverse; and a data storage unit configured to communicate with the processor and to store map information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
