1. A method for determining the accuracy of map data of a digital map, the method comprising:
- receiving, via one or more processors, at least a portion of an address for a first serviceable point represented in map data of a digital map;
identifying, via the one or more processors, a telematics-based location of the first serviceable point in the map data of the digital map based at least in part on telematics data collected by a telematics device affixed to a vehicle while the vehicle visited the first serviceable point, wherein the telematics-based location comprises a telematics-based geocode;
identifying, via the one or more processors, a street segment in the map data of the digital map, wherein (a) the street segment is proximate the telematics-based location and (b) the street segment is identified based at least in part on a street segment identifier that is not visibly displayed to users;
identifying, via the one or more processors, a map-based location on the street segment in the map data of the digital map by identifying a perpendicular path from the telematics-based location in the map data of the digital map to the street segment in the map data of the digital map, wherein (a) the map-based location comprises a map-based geocode represented in the map data of the digital map, and (b) the map-based geocode is an estimated location of the first serviceable point on the street segment;
generating, via the one or more processors, a graphical display of at least a portion of the digital map comprising an indication of the telematics-based location on the at least a portion of the digital map and an indication of the map-based location on the at least a portion of the digital map; and
determining, via the one or more processors, the accuracy of the map data of the digital map for the first serviceable point based at least in part on the geographical distance between the telematics-based geocode and the map-based geocode.

Abstract
Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are provided for determining the accuracy of map data. In one embodiment, map data and collected telematics data can be compared. The difference between the map data and the telematics data can be used to determine the accuracy of the map data.

1. A method for determining the accuracy of map data of a digital map, the method comprising:
-
receiving, via one or more processors, at least a portion of an address for a first serviceable point represented in map data of a digital map; identifying, via the one or more processors, a telematics-based location of the first serviceable point in the map data of the digital map based at least in part on telematics data collected by a telematics device affixed to a vehicle while the vehicle visited the first serviceable point, wherein the telematics-based location comprises a telematics-based geocode; identifying, via the one or more processors, a street segment in the map data of the digital map, wherein (a) the street segment is proximate the telematics-based location and (b) the street segment is identified based at least in part on a street segment identifier that is not visibly displayed to users; identifying, via the one or more processors, a map-based location on the street segment in the map data of the digital map by identifying a perpendicular path from the telematics-based location in the map data of the digital map to the street segment in the map data of the digital map, wherein (a) the map-based location comprises a map-based geocode represented in the map data of the digital map, and (b) the map-based geocode is an estimated location of the first serviceable point on the street segment; generating, via the one or more processors, a graphical display of at least a portion of the digital map comprising an indication of the telematics-based location on the at least a portion of the digital map and an indication of the map-based location on the at least a portion of the digital map; and determining, via the one or more processors, the accuracy of the map data of the digital map for the first serviceable point based at least in part on the geographical distance between the telematics-based geocode and the map-based geocode. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5)

6. An apparatus for determining the accuracy of map data of a digital map, the apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
-
receive at least a portion of an address for a first serviceable point represented in map data of a digital map; identify a telematics-based location of the first serviceable point in the map data of the digital map based at least in part on telematics data collected by a telematics device affixed to a vehicle while the vehicle visited the first serviceable point, wherein the telematics-based location comprises a telematics-based geocode; identify a street segment in the map data of the digital map, wherein (a) the street segment is proximate the telematics-based location and (b) the street segment is identified based at least in part on a street segment identifier that is not visibly displayed to users; identify a map-based location on the street segment in the map data of the digital map by identifying a perpendicular path from the telematics-based location in the map data of the digital map to the street segment in the map data of the digital map, wherein (a) the map-based location comprises a map-based geocode represented in the map data of the digital map, and (b) the map-based geocode is an estimated location of the first serviceable point on the street segment; generate a graphical display of at least a portion of the digital map comprising an indication of the telematics-based location on the at least a portion of the digital map and an indication of the map-based location on the at least a portion of the digital map; and determine the accuracy of the map data of the digital map for the first serviceable point based at least in part on the geographical distance between the telematics-based geocode and the map-based geocode. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
-
an executable portion configured to receive at least a portion of an address for a first serviceable point represented in map data of a digital map; an executable portion configured to identify a telematics-based location of the first serviceable point in the map data of the digital map based at least in part on telematics data collected by a telematics device affixed to a vehicle while the vehicle visited the first serviceable point, wherein the telematics-based location comprises a telematics-based geocode; an executable portion configured to identify a street segment in the map data of the digital map, wherein (a) the street segment is proximate the telematics-based location and (b) the street segment is identified based at least in part on a street segment identifier that is not visibly displayed to users; an executable portion configured to identify a map-based location on the street segment in the map data of the digital map by identifying a perpendicular path from the telematics-based location in the map data of the digital map to the street segment in the map data of the digital map, wherein (a) the map-based location comprises a map-based geocode represented in the map data of the digital map, and (b) the map-based geocode is an estimated location of the first serviceable point on the street segment; an executable portion configured to generate a graphical display of at least a portion of the digital map comprising an indication of the telematics-based location on the at least a portion of the digital map and an indication of the map-based location on the at least a portion of the digital map; and an executable portion configured to determine the accuracy of the map data of the digital map for the first serviceable point based at least in part on the geographical distance between the telematics-based geocode and the map-based geocode. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
