A method is provided for analyzing data to identify turning circles within a road network, and to generate map data corresponding to the identified turning circles. Methods may include: receiving data corresponding to a geographical region; identifying, from the data, a turning circle in the geographical region; determining a size of the turning circle; generating, at the point location, map data geometry of the turning circle of the size determined; and updating a digital map database to include the map data geometry of the turning circle of the size determined at the point location, where the digital map database provides for at least one of route guidance or at least semi-autonomous vehicle control. According to some embodiments, the data corresponding to the geographical region includes at least one of satellite imagery or aerial imagery.
