First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by an apparatus, location sensing data error information caused by one or more potential obstructions to location sensing associated with at least one set of location data;
encoding, at least in part by the apparatus, the location sensing data error information as a function of a position parameter into location sensing data error overlays over one or more road networks; and
generating, at least in part by the apparatus, a presentation of at least one location sensing data error map by mapping each of the location sensing data error overlays with a respective visual characteristic varied relative to a location sensing data error size over the one or more road networks.

Abstract
An approach is provided for generating location data error maps. The approach involves determining location data error information associated with at least one set of location data. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, an encoding of the location data error information as a function of a position parameter. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, a generation of at least one location data error map based, at least in part, on the encoding.
