Abstract

See full text

A method is disclosed for combining a first partition from a first digital map database and a second partition from a second digital map database, wherein the first and second digital map database are associated with a coordinate reference system, wherein the first and second partition include an interaction with each other in a common region in the first and second digital map database. In at least one embodiment, the method includes identifying a first group of objects in the first partition from the first digital map database, wherein each object includes a position within said common region; encoding the objects of the first group with a first group of location references; decoding the first group of location references on the second partition from the second digital map database; identifying the location references of the first group that could successfully decode on the second partition to determine topological connections; and, combining the first partition with the second partition in the second map database in dependence of the location references associated with the topological connections.
