Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for map data management using road ghosting characteristics are provided. A mobile device transmits a map request to a mapping service server for a map view. Upon the receipt of the map request from the mobile device, the mapping service server creates a ghost map based on road ghost characteristic information gathered from mobile devices associated with the mapping service server. The road ghost characteristic information is overlaid on geographical locations to identify ghost pathways and road supplemental information. The characteristics associated with the identified ghost pathways and road supplemental information is merged into metadata. The ghost map is generated by correlating the metadata with geographic locations of interests of said mobile device. The ghost map is delivered to the mobile and presented via the user interface to users of the mobile device, accordingly.
