Systems and methods for generating electronic map displays with points-of-interest information based on reference locations
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for generating an electronic map display, the method comprising the following operations performed by at least one processor:
- searching for points of interest (POIs) in a search area associated with a reference point along a route;
comparing a density of the POIs in the search area with a density threshold;
ranking the POIs based on a distance of each of the POIs from a location of the reference point;
adjusting the search area when the density of the POIs is less than the density threshold; and
searching for POIs in the adjusted search area.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for generating an electronic map display. In one implementation, a method is provided for receiving route information associated with a route having an origination point and a destination point, determining a location of a reference point along the route, assigning a spatial identifier to the reference point, searching for points of interest (POIs) in a search area associated with the spatial identifier, ranking, using a processor, the POIs based on distances of POIs from the location of the reference point, and providing POI information for an electronic map display, wherein the POI information is associated with one or more POIs and selected based on the ranking of the POIs.
