Abstract
An apparatus is provided that determines, based on a geometrical criterion and at least one map object of plurality of map objects, whether a map element of a first map element type or a second map element type shall be created; wherein elements of the first map element type are intended to be usable for applying a constraint to a user position and wherein elements of the second map element type are intended to be less usable for applying a constraint to a user position compared to the elements of the first map element type; and creates a map element according to the determined map element type, the created map element being associated with the at least one map object.

An 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 at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
- determine, based on a geometrical criterion and at least one map object of a plurality of map objects, whether a map element of a first map element type or a second map element type shall be created, wherein map elements of the first map element type are associated with spaces that are narrower or smaller than spaces with which map elements of the second map element type are associated, wherein the computer program code determine whether a map element of the first map element type or the second map element type shall be created;
- and wherein map elements of the first map element type are usable for applying a constraint to a user position and map elements of the second map element type are less usable for applying a constraint to a user position compared to the map elements of the first map element type;
- and
- create a map element according to the determined map element type, the created map element being associated with the at least one map object.
A method implemented by execution of computer program code, the method comprising:
- determining, based on a geometrical criterion and at least one map object of a plurality of map objects, whether a map element of a first map element type or a second map element type shall be created, wherein map elements of the first map element type are associated with spaces that are narrower or smaller than spaces with which map elements of the second map element type are associated, wherein the computer program code determine whether a map element of the first map element type or the second map element type shall be created;
- and wherein map elements of the first map element type are usable for applying a constraint to a user position and map elements of the second map element type are less usable for applying a constraint to a user position compared to the map elements of the first map element type;
- and
- creating a map element according to the determined map element type, the created map element being associated with the at least one map object.
An 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 at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
- determine, for a respective map element and based on a database comprising at least one map element of a first map element type and at least one map element of a second map element type, a map element type associated with a position, wherein map elements of the first map element type are associated with spaces that are narrower or smaller than spaces with which map elements of the second map element type are associated, wherein the computer program code determine whether the map element type associated with the position is the first map element type or the second map element type;
- and wherein map elements of the first map element type are usable for applying a constraint to a user position and map elements of the second map element type are less usable for applying a constraint to a user position compared to the map elements of the first map element type and
- in case the determined map element is of the first map element type, determine a constraint to be applied to the position based on the map element.
