Abstract
A method for synchronizing neighboring tiles in an electronic map is described. The method includes grouping neighboring tiles of the electronic map into a plurality of tile groups. The method also includes selecting a first tile group and a second tile group that border one another on at least a first tile in the first tile group and a second tile in the second tile group. The method further includes independently optimizing the first tile group and the second tile group if a feature crosses between the first tile group and the second tile group. The method also includes shifting a border of the first tile group and a border of the second tile group to join the first tile and the second tile in the second tile group or the first tile group.
