Display of an annotation representation

A method comprising:

• causing display of a map information representation that represents map information, the map information comprising physical object information that characterizes a physical object, the map information representation comprising a physical object representation that represents the physical object;
• receiving information indicative of an annotation;
• generating an association between the physical object information and the annotation;
• determining a three-dimensional model of the physical object;
• identifying an annotation face of the three-dimensional model of the physical object;
• identifying a face representation of the physical object to be a portion of the physical object representation that corresponds with the annotation face of the three-dimensional model of the physical object, wherein the face representation is identified
• based, at least in part, on the association between the physical object information and the annotation;
• rotating the annotation to align with a normal vector for a polygon corresponding with the annotation face of the three-dimensional model;
• generating an annotation representation that illustrates the annotation as a texture on the polygon corresponding with the face representation;
• and
• causing display of the annotation representation in relation to the face representation.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform:

• causation of display of a map information representation that represents map information, the map information comprising physical object information that characterizes a physical object, the map information representation comprising a physical object representation that represents the physical object;
• receipt of information indicative of an annotation;
• generation of an association between a centroid of an outward wall of the physical object information and the annotation;
• determination of a three-dimensional model of the physical object;
• identification of an annotation face of the three-dimensional model of the physical object;
• identification of the face representation of the physical object to be a portion of the physical object representation;
• identification of the outward wall of the physical object representation that is a face representation of the physical object that corresponds with the annotation face of the three-dimensional model of the physical object, wherein the identification is based, at least in part, on the association between the centroid of the outward wall of the physical object information and the annotation;
• determination of an offset annotation position that is offset from the annotation face of the three-dimensional model in correspondence with an annotation offset;
• generation of an annotation representation that illustrates the annotation as a texture on a polygon, the polygon corresponding with the face representation;
• and
• causation of display of the annotation representation in relation to the face representation according to the annotation offset.
