Abstract
A system and method for automatically finding a path between two selected road segments. A map editor displays road segments in a visual map to a user. The user selects a beginning segment and an ending segment from the displayed segments. The map editor then identifies the best path between these two segments by applying a path-finding algorithm. The path finding algorithm identifies the best path based on the total length of the path and the changes in attributes between adjacent road segments in the path. The path identified by the map editor is then displayed to the user.
