Method and device for presenting information associated to geographical data
First Claim
1. A method for presenting points of interest (POIs) via a graphical user interface (GUI) of an apparatus, said method comprisingdetermining a reference location,determining a search area based on said reference location, finding POIs within said search area utilising map data, said map data comprising cache map data,organizing said POIs in a multilevel hierarchy tree,determining a velocity of said apparatus,determining a cache area based on said velocity, wherein said cache area is larger than said search area,receiving said cache map data corresponding to said cache area,storing said cache map data, andthereby enabling dynamic presentation of POIs present within said search area via said GUI.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for presenting points of interest (POIs) via a graphical user interface (GUI) on an apparatus. Generally, data is received via a global positioning system (GPS) and map data is received via a communications network. Next, a reference location is determined, and based on the reference location a search area is determined. Next, POIs are found within said search area, wherein said reference location is comprised within said search area, and then said POIs are organized in a multilevel hierarchy tree. Finally, the found POIs are presented on the GUI.

12. A device for processing map data, comprising
a graphical user interface (GUI), a reference location determinator adapted to determine a reference location, a search area determinator adapted to determine a search area based on said reference location, a velocity determinator adapted to determine a velocity of said device, a cache area determinator adapted to determine a cache area based on said velocity, wherein said cache area is larger than said search area, a memory adapted to store cache map data, a point of interests (POI) determinator adapted to receive said cache map data and to determine POIs within said search area utilising map data, said map data comprising said cache map data, a POI organizer adapted to organize said POIs in a multi-level tree hierarchy, thereby enabling dynamic presentation of POIs present within said search area via said GUI.
