Abstract
An approach is provided for compressing location trajectories based on map structure. A compression platform causes, at least in part, a mapping of at least one location trajectory to at least one map to determine one or more intersections traveled along the at least one location trajectory. The compression platform further determines at least one compression key based, at least in part, on one or more outgoing roads of the one or more intersections. The compression platform also causes, at least in part, a compression of the at least one location trajectory based, at least in part, on the at least one compression key.
