1. A mapping system configured to provide visual representations of a plurality of buildings to which texture has been applied, the mapping system comprising a map database, at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the processor, cause the mapping system to at least:

  • for each of the plurality of buildings, analyze images of the buildings to detect building texture for one or more faces of the buildings including windows and doors;

    spread a representation of the building texture to visual representations of one or more faces of a respective building that do not have a detected texture, wherein spreading the representation of the building texture comprises;

    in an instance in which another face of the respective building has the detected texture and is of a corresponding size to the face of the respective building that does not have the detected texture, copying the representation of the detected texture of the another face of the respective building onto the visual representation of the face of the respective building that does not have the detected texture; and

    otherwise, in an instance in which a face of a neighboring building has a detected texture and is of a corresponding size to the face of the respective building that does not have the detected texture, copying the representation of the detected texture of the face of the neighboring building onto the visual representation of the face of the respective building that does not have the detected texture; and

    store the visual representations of the plurality of buildings in association with the map database; and

    with reference to the map database, cause a map to be presented upon a display including the visual representations of the plurality of buildings to which texture has been applied.
