Abstract
A map data is disclosed. The map data comprises a link data and a segment data. The link data describes a characteristic of each link in a group of links on a link-by-link basis. The group of links forms a road network. The segment data relates to each segment in a group of segments on a segment-by-segment basis. The segments are defined in units of link string. Each link string is a string of multiple links and corresponds to a main road. Each link string terminates at least at an intersection of the main road. The multiple links are a part of the group of links. The segment data of each segment describes information on a storage destination of the link data corresponding to the link string that forms the each segment.
Claims8
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing therein map data, the map data comprising:
- link data that describes a characteristic of each link in a group of links on a link-by-link basis, the group of links forming a road network;
- and
- segment data that relates to each segment in a group of segments on a segment-by-segment basis,
- a segment being defined for each link string, which is a string of multiple links, corresponding to a main road, which is any road that includes a highway, and
- no segment being defined for each link string corresponding to a non-main road, which is any road that does not include a highway, wherein
- each link string forming a segment terminates at least at an intersection of a main road, wherein
- the multiple links forming the group of segments are a part of the group of links forming the road network, and wherein
- segment data related to a particular segment describes information on a storage location of the link data corresponding to the link string that forms the particular segment.
