Abstract
Areas of interest on three-dimensional maps can be made visually distinct using three-dimensional tint band meshes that overlay other three-dimensional meshes, for example three-dimensional meshes providing terrain, elevation, and infrastructure data. Characteristics of the three-dimensional tint band meshes may be dynamically updated for visual distinctiveness. When overlaying three-dimensional tint band meshes, the overlay operation can use connectivity information of the three-dimensional meshes to increase performance.
