A method comprising: collecting a plurality of probe data from a plurality of probe points by a probing device, said probe data comprising at least positional information, a speed vector and a direction of travel of the probing device and a timestamp of recording the probe data at a probe point; and estimating a trajectory of the probing device between two consecutive probe points as a cubic Hermite spline having the positions of said two consecutive probe points as control points and the speed vectors of said two consecutive probe points as control vectors.

Trail interpolation

An approach is provided for providing routing calculations and route guidance based on geographic positioning and/or other sensor data from one or more mobile devices independent of map data. A routing platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of one or more probe data samples associated with at least one mobile device to determine one or more device tracks. The routing platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of the one or more device tracks to determine at least one tessellation, wherein the at least one tessellation is a subdivision of a plane or sphere into one or more tiles and a plurality of segments. The routing platform further determines one or more relationships between one or more of the plurality of segments based, at least in part, on a mapping of the one or more device tracks against the at least one tessellation.
