    Abstract: A tiled-map display control with a predictive caching technique that minimizes user wait time and provides at least the illusion of continuous panning, even while map tile images are being loaded. Important components of the tiled map display are its definition and cached use of map tiles, as well as the way that the map tiles are put together on a small screen. Easy, seamless, wait-free and convenient viewing of a map for a user of a wireless device provides information, e.g., mapped traffic conditions. The disclosed embodiments are techniques that have been reduced to practice in both a BREW platform, and then in a J2ME platform, and deployed for operation in major carrier wireless networks. The invention has particular applicability for use in wireless devices with typically smaller display screens requiring the need for panning, and limited bandwidth capabilities of the supporting wireless network.

    Abstract: Navigational lane guidance enhances a maneuver display by incorporating full display of available lanes in a freeway, when available in the map data. An otherwise regular turn icon display is replaced with a variable width image that grows to show all available lanes, highlighting lanes usable to complete a navigated maneuver. A new lane TrueType font displays the lane guidance image, with individual characters representing each possible line situation. Since TrueType fonts are vector-based, they can be used to generate the lane images at any size, in a platform-independent fashion. The lane font has direction arrows, which can be combined to form composite arrows; and additional direction arrows as needed to allow replacement of the routing icons currently in use. Lane dividers may also be implemented.

    Abstract translation: 导航线路指导通过在地图数据中可用的高速公路中整合显示可用车道来增强机动显示。 否则常规的转向图标显示被替换为可变宽度图像,其变长以显示所有可用的车道,突出显示可用于完成导航操纵的车道。 新车道TrueType字体显示车道引导图像,每个字符表示每个可能的线路情况。 由于TrueType字体是基于向量的,它们可以用于以平台无关的方式生成任何大小的车道图像。 车道字体具有方向箭头,可以组合形成复合箭头; 并根据需要增加方向箭头,以允许更换当前正在使用的路由图标。 车道分隔器也可以实现。
