METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTING AND DISPLAYING MAP EVENTS
First Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- a processing of at least one map event specified by a user;
at least one determination to encode information regarding the at least one map event; and
at least one transmission of the encoded information to one or more devices associated with one or more other users,wherein the map event information is processed, at least in part, to be associated with a map application.

Abstract
An approach is provided for distributing and displaying map events. A map event distribution platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of at least one map event specified by a user. The map event distribution platform determine to encode information regarding the at least one map event. The map event distribution platform cause, at least in part, transmission of the encoded information to one or more devices associated with one or more other users. The map event information is processed, at least in part, to be associated with a map application, at least to modify a locally-stored device map, and/or to affect the mapping and navigation behaviors of the map application.
