Abstract
A client device receives a map tile associated with a map feature having a geometric base and a height value, the geometric base represented by a set of vertices, and map terrain data including elevation values. The client device determines whether all vertices of the map feature are in the set of vertices and selects a sample point on the map tile using the set of vertices, determine a sample elevation value for the sample point using the map terrain data, determine vertex elevation values for respective vertices in the set of vertices using the sample elevation value, and render the map tile with the map feature using the vertex elevation values. The map feature is rendered with a top surface graphical component having an elevation corresponding to a sum of the sample elevation value and the height value. The client device displays the rendering.
