In some implementations, a computing device can provide a map application providing a representation of a physical structure of venues (e.g., shopping centers, airports) identified by the application. The application can provide an inside view of the venue, which is accessible by other applications and programs on the user's device. Thus, whether intended or not, search results that are identified by the map application as having an inside view of the venue are also presented on a graphical user interface along with typical search results from the other applications.

A server device 200 is a map generation device which assigns, to voxel data in the map DB 20 which is divided into multiple voxels, a first weight value for each voxel, wherein the first weight value is associated with the presence of a stationary object and a moving object. Then, the server device 200 acquires upload information Iu which includes position information relating to a travelling route of a measurement vehicle during measurement of point cloud data needed for generation or update of the voxel data. Then, the server device 200 determines the first weight value for each voxel based on the travelling route of the measurement vehicle identified by the position information included in the upload information Iu.

A driving assistance device for a driver of a vehicle includes an electronic control unit configured to, before the vehicle passes through a predetermined position in a predetermined direction, acquire information relating to a predetermined traffic regulation to be applied when the vehicle passes through the predetermined position in the predetermined direction, acquire an observance tendency of an other driver relating to the predetermined traffic regulation, a degree of similarity between a predetermined characteristic of the other driver and the predetermined characteristic of the driver of the vehicle is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, before the vehicle passes through the predetermined position in the predetermined direction, output a warning to prompt observance of the predetermined traffic regulation, and change an output state of the warning to prompt observance of the predetermined traffic regulation based on the observance tendency of the traffic regulation of another driver.

A method for implementing visualization of public welfare activities includes: displaying to a target user a map of a geographic region for carrying out a public welfare activity in response to the target user’s selection, wherein the map comprises a first geographic location associated with a first icon indicating that the public welfare activity has been carried out at the first geographic location and a second geographic location associated with a second icon indicating that the public welfare activity is able to be carried out at the second geographic location; when a relationship exists between the target user and a public welfare activity participant user that has carried out the public welfare activity on the map, displaying on the map user information of the public welfare activity participant user; updating the second icon to be a first icon in response to the target user’s selection on the second icon.

Methods and apparatus for assessing coordinate data are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a processor to receive coordinate data relating to a desired path and task of a vehicle. The processor of the example apparatus to determine if the coordinate data satisfies a threshold. The processor of the example apparatus to determine if the coordinate data is compatible with a positioning system of the vehicle. The processor of the example apparatus to authorize operation of the vehicle to traverse the desired path based on the coordinate data.

A method and system for generating a location identifier using a location code and a grid coordinate. The location code corresponds to a defined geographical area, such as a postal code or an area code. A grid coordinate can be determined based on destination location information, such as an address, a GPS-determined position, or other reference to a specific physical location. The location identifier is combined with the location code to generate a location identifier, which can be encoded in a computer readable format and placed on items for use in a distribution network. The location identifier can be used to facilitate domestic or international distribution of items using a common format or addressing scheme. The domestic and foreign distribution networks read and interpret location identifiers in order to deliver items.

An augmented reality device may communicate with a map server via an API interface to provide mapping data that may be implemented into a canonical map, and may also receive map data from the map server. A visualization of map quality, including quality indicators for multiple cells of the environment, may be provided to the user as an overlay to the current real-world environment seen through the AR device. These visualizations may include, for example, a map quality minimap and/or a map quality overlay. The visualizations provide guidance to the user that allows more efficient updates to the map, thereby improving map quality and localization of users into the map.
