Navigation device and method for emphasizing a map route
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by a processor, map information for display on a display device of a navigation device, based upon a determined route of travel of the navigation device;
scanning, by the processor, the determined map information to detect an edge of a building footprint;
determining, by the processor, that the edge of the building footprint is within a threshold distance of the determined route of travel; and
in response to determining that the edge of the building footprint is within the threshold distance, causing, by the processor, the building footprint to be differentiated to thereby emphasize the determined route of travel, wherein the differentiating includes highlighting the building footprint so that the building footprint is displayed with at least some color emphasis that is different than buildings having building footprints further than the threshold distance from the determined route of travel; and
displaying, using the navigation device, the determined map information and the differentiated building footprints.

Abstract
A method, a device and a computer readable medium are disclosed for navigation. The method includes determining map information for display on an integrated input and display device of a navigation device, based upon a determined route of travel of the navigation device; and differentiating at least a portion of the map information within a threshold distance of the determined route of travel, from other map information, to thereby emphasize the determined route of travel. The navigation device includes a processor to determine map information for subsequent display, based upon a determined route of travel of the navigation device, the processor further being useable to control display of at least a portion of the map information, determined to be within a threshold distance of the determined route of travel, in a manner differentiated from display of other map information, to thereby emphasize the determined route of travel.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium including program segments for, when executed on a processor of a navigation device, causing the navigation device to perform a method comprising:
-
determining map information for display on a display device of the navigation device based upon a determined route of travel of the navigation device; scanning the determined map information to detect an edge of a building footprint; determining that the edge of the building footprint is within a threshold distance of the determined route of travel; and in response to determining that the edge of the building footprint is within the threshold distance, causing the building footprint to be differentiated to thereby emphasize the determined route of travel, wherein the differentiating includes highlighting the building footprint so that the building footprint is displayed with at least some color emphasis that is different than buildings having building footprints further than the threshold distance from the determined route of travel.

8. A navigation device, comprising:
-
a processor to determine map information for subsequent display, based upon a determined route of travel of the navigation device, the processor further being operable to; scan the determined map information to detect an edge of a building footprint; determine that the edge of the building footprint is within a threshold distance of the determined route of travel; in response to determining that the edge of the building footprint is within the threshold distance, cause the building footprint to be differentiated to thereby emphasize the determined route of travel, wherein the differentiating includes highlighting the building footprint so that the building footprint is displayed with at least some color emphasis that is different than buildings having building footprints further than the threshold distance from the determined route of travel; and display at least a portion of the map information, determined to be within the threshold distance of the determined route of travel including differentiated building footprints. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
