Abstract
A system is provided that simulates cartographic features of an electronic map. The system employs one or more geometric shapes, such as a clothoid, to represent cartographic features of the electronic map. The system may more accurately and realistically describe the cartographic features of the map than a straight line system. The system may include a data model and methodology for converting data from a straight line system to a clothoid system. The system may also reduce the amount of memory capacity needed to describe the cartographic features of the electronic map. The electronic map may be displayed on a computer network, such as a wide area network, a local area network, a wireless or wireline network, Intranets or the Internet. This system may also be used with other systems, such as navigation systems.
