Device and carrier of map information data
First Claim
1. Device (1) for providing map information data (3) interactively to a display unit (5) operated by a user;
- the device (1) comprising a processor (7) and a memory (9) comprising a map information database (11);
the map information database (11) comprising map information data (3) representing geographical features, the map information data (3) being based on aggregations of at least one of nodes (15), links (17) and rings (19), each one of which corresponding to geographic features, offering a number of resolution levels, where the map information data (3) of a higher resolution level comprises additional map information data, resulting in more detailed map information (3) presented on the display unit (5), compared to the map information data (3) of a lower resolution level, and the map information data (3) of a higher resolution level being generated by enhancement of the map information data (3) of a lower resolution level combined with the additional data, the enhancement being based on disaggregation of at least one of the nodes (15), links (17) and rings (19);
the processor (7) being configured for;
receiving from the user a request for map information data (3);
providing to the display unit (5), in the case of the request being a first request, map information data (3) at a predetermined resolution level and, in the case of the request being subsequent request, map information data (3) at a higher resolution level.

Abstract
Device (1) and carrier for providing map information data (3) interactively to a display unit (5). The device (1) comprises a processor (7) and a memory (9) comprising a map information database (11) comprising map information data (3) representing geographical features, the map information data (3) being based on aggregations of at least one of nodes (15), links (17) and rings (19), each one of which corresponding to geographic features. The map information data (3) of a higher resolution level comprises additional map information data, resulting in more detailed map information (3) presented on the display unit (5), compared to the map information data (3) of a lower resolution level. The map information data (3) of a higher resolution level is generated by enhancement of the map information data (3) of a lower resolution level combined with the additional data, the enhancement being based on disaggregation of nodes (15), links (17) and rings (19). The processor (7) is configured for receiving a request for map information data (3); and providing map information data (3). Also, a device for providing map information data to a planning apparatus (33) for planning at least one of locations of society facility and travel routes is disclosed.
