Abstract
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.
