Abstract

A method of processing data at a serverfor maintenance of a databaseof points of interest, such as speed limit enforcement devices. Each of the devices represented in the database has at least one attribute and a confidence value indicative of the accuracy of the at least one attribute associated therewith. The confidence value is time dependent and varies according to a predefined decay function. A reportrelating to an attribute of a speed limit enforcement device is received at the serverfrom a mobile device. The confidence value associated with the speed limit enforcement device is adjusted in accordance with the received report, and information relating to the speed limit enforcement deviceis selectively transmitted to the or another mobile devicebased on the confidence value.
