Abstract
In some implementations, a computing device can detect changes in map data based on device activity data received from a mobile device. For example, the device activity data can include location data that describes locations where the mobile devices have traveled, direction, speed, and/or other data. Based on the received location data, the computing device can determine whether stored map data for a particular area accurately reflects the real world characteristics of the particular area. The device activity data can identify user behavior with respect to the mobile device. For example, the characteristics of a real world geographic area may influence how users use their mobile devices (e.g., which applications are used) in the geographic area. The computing device can analyze the user behavior identified in the device activity data to detect changes in the real world characteristics of the geographic area.
