Report Generation for a Navigation-Related Database
First Claim
1. A method for updating a geographic database that includes geographic data for navigation-related services, the method comprising:
- capturing a photograph of an observed geographic feature in a geographic region;
storing comment information corresponding to the observed geographic feature, the comment information indicative of a discrepancy between the observed geographic feature and the geographic data corresponding to the geographic region;
associating the comment information with the photograph to generate a report; and
transmitting the report.

Abstract
Systems, devices, features, and methods for updating a geographic database, such as a navigation-related database, and/or reporting discrepancies associated with geographic data of the geographic database are disclosed. For example, one method comprises capturing a photograph of an observed geographic feature in a geographic region. Comment information corresponding to the observed geographic feature may be stored. The comment information is indicative of a discrepancy between the observed geographic feature and the geographic data corresponding to the geographic region. The comment information may be associated with the photograph to generate a report, and the report is transmitted.
