Abstract:
A system for managing and presenting geolocation data. The system includes a plurality of electronic devices and a server in data communication with a plurality of electronic devices. The server has a processor that is configured to receive requests from an electronic device for a map including a feature of interest and the feature having associated location information therewith. The location information is indicative of a geographic location of the feature and comprises information indicative of a precision of the geographic location. The processor provides a precise icon and an imprecise icon for representing a feature on a map, each having a constant size. The processor is also configured to determine whether to use the precise icon or the imprecise icon to represent the feature on the map based upon information indicative of a scale of the map and the precision of the location information associated with the feature. The processor generates the map including the feature being represented by the precise icon or the imprecise icon.
