1. A system for presenting a route, the system comprising:
- a storage medium that stores mapping data including at least one point of interest, and each of primary and secondary display attributes for each of first and second elements;
a rendering device configured to render mapping information; and
at least one processor configured by a set of instructions to;
receive a request related to rendering of a map,determine at least one route to be included in the map based on the request;
determine, based on the at least one route to be included in the map, a map region;
determine, based on the at least one route to be included in the map, one or more types of roads to be traversed;
identify, based on the map region, the first and the second elements that are apart from the at least one route and different from each other;
identify, based on the one or more types of roads to be traversed, the at least one point of interest to be displayed along the at least one route;
access the storage medium; and
enable, based on information accessed from the storage medium, a map to be rendered on the rendering device and including part or all of the at least one route and the map region, the map including the at least one point of interest displayed along the at least one route, and each of the first element and the second element with the primary display attribute being rendered for the first element and the secondary display attribute being rendered for the second element.

Abstract
Techniques are provided for presenting a route in a manner that emphasizes the route and provides context information. For example, a vivid color or vivid colors may be used to display the route, and pastel colors or other desaturated colors may be used for non-route context information. This may result in a map in which the vivid colors of the route stand out over the faded style of the non-route context information to emphasize the route. In this manner, the map may both emphasize the route and provide context information for the route.

15. A computer-readable medium comprising one or more code segments configured to cause at least one processor to:
-
receive a request related to rendering of a map; determine at least one route to be included in the map based on the request; determine, based on the at least one route to be included in the map, a map region; determine, based on the at least one route to be included in the map, one or more types of roads to be traversed; identify, based on the map region, first and second elements that are apart from the at least one route and different from each other; identify, based on the one or more types of roads to be traversed, at least one point of interest to be displayed along the at least one route; access a database, the database including each of primary and secondary display attributes for each of the first and second elements; and enable, based on information accessed from the database, a map to be rendered and including part or all of the at least one route and the map region, the map including the at least one point of interest, and each of the first element and the second element with the primary display attribute being rendered for the first element and the secondary display attribute being rendered for the second element. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A computer-implemented method for displaying a route in a client-server system comprising:
-
receiving a request related to rendering of a map; determining, with at least one processor, at least one route to be included in the map based on the request; determining, based on the at least one route to be included in the map, a map region; determining, based on the at least one route to be included in the map, one or more types of roads to be traversed; identifying, based on the map region, first and second elements that are apart from the at least one route and different from one another; identifying, based on the one or more types of roads to be traversed, at least one point of interest to be displayed along the at least one route; accessing a database, the database including at least one symbol to represent the at least one point of interest, a primary display attribute and a secondary display attribute for each of the first and second elements; and enabling, based on information accessed from the database, a map to be rendered on a display and including part or all of the at least one route and the map region, the map including the at least one point of interest, and each of the first element and the second element with the primary display attribute being rendered for the first element and the secondary display attribute being rendered for the second element. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
