Method for simplified storage of data representing forms

A data record within one of a navigation device or a mobile terminal device, representing the form of at least one object that can be represented by a set of interpolation points,

• a. wherein the data record has levels that stand in a hierarchical relation to each other, in which the data representing the interpolation points by which the object can be represented and/or is represented for structuring and/or storage is stored in a memory of the navigation device or the mobile terminal device,
• b. wherein a subset of the data is stored in each level,
• c. wherein the data is assigned to the levels by
• i. data of at least two anchor points selected from the interpolation points of the at least one object being stored in the hierarchically uppermost level,
• ii. the data of the remaining interpolation points being distributed among the levels such that
• the distance of each considered interpolation point of each considered level has a smaller distance
• from a line through the interpolation points of the levels hierarchically superior to the considered level,
• in particular the interpolation points neighboring the considered interpolation point,
• than each interpolation point,
• in particular each interpolation point between the neighboring interpolation points of levels that are superior to the considered level,
• apart from the anchor points,
• of levels arranged hierarchically above the considered level
• with regard to a line through all other,
• especially all neighboring,
• interpolation points and anchor points stored in all levels that lie hierarchically above the particular level.
