1. A vehicle comprising:
- memory for storing map data;
a global positioning system (GPS) module that transmits vector and location data and that receives traffic reports from a remote traffic monitoring system; and
an adaptive map building module including;
a path determining module that determines a travel path of said vehicle based on said vector and location data;
a comparing module that compares said travel path to roads defined by said map data; and
an identifying module that selectively identifies new roads based on said comparison.

Abstract
A vehicle comprises memory for storing map data and a global positioning system (GPS) module that transmits vector and location data and that receives traffic reports from a remote traffic monitoring system. An adaptive map building module includes a path determining module that determines a travel path of the vehicle based on the vector and location data, a comparing module that compares the travel path to roads defined by the map data, and an identifying module that selectively identifies new roads based on the comparison.
