Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing mapping data in a network are disclosed. For example, the method receives coordinate data from a customer mobile endpoint device, and processes the coordinate data against at least one existing map. The method then identifies a route associated with the coordinate data as a candidate new route if the route is not previously known on the at least one existing map.
Claims20
A method for processing coordinate data in a network, comprising:
- receiving coordinate data from a customer mobile endpoint device;
- processing said coordinate data against at least one existing map;
- and
- identifying a route associated with said coordinate data as a candidate new route if said route is not previously known on said at least one existing map.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions, the plurality of instructions including instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform steps of a method for processing coordinate data in a network, comprising:
- receiving coordinate data from a customer mobile endpoint device;
- processing said coordinate data against at least one existing map;
- and
- identifying a route associated with said coordinate data as a candidate new route if said route is not previously known on said at least one existing map.
An apparatus for processing coordinate data in a network, comprising:
- means for receiving coordinate data from a customer mobile endpoint device;
- means for processing said coordinate data against at least one existing map;
- and
- means for identifying a route associated with said coordinate data as a candidate new route if said route is not previously known on said at least one existing map.
