Presented are techniques of identifying, processing and displaying data point clusters associated with map information in an efficient manner Methods and systems are disclosed which process map information to identify clusters of requested data points for display, based on iterative clustering and filtering of the data points. Methods and systems are also disclosed which generate polygons representing the clusters. The amount of data to be processed and/or displayed can be reduced, without loss of any associated information content in a displayed map.

Presented are techniques of identifying, processing and displaying data point clusters () associated with map information () in an efficient manner. Methods and systems are disclosed which process map information () to identify clusters () of requested data points for display (), based on iterative clustering and filtering of the data points. Methods and systems are also disclosed which generate polygons (-) representing the clusters. The amount of data to be processed and/or displayed can be reduced, without loss of any associated information content in a displayed map.

Methods and apparatus related to determining one or more mapping characteristics of a map based on a current context of a user. A current context of a user may be identified and one or more mapping characteristics determined based on the current context. A map that is responsive to a mapping request of the user may be tailored to include the determined mapping characteristics.
