Abstract
In a system that uses tile-based road network rendering for displaying map information to a user, a tile is rendered for display by rendering a tileby using a first texture comprising one or more map features to be displayed for the tile of the map in combination with a second texture to apply a texture to a graphics primitive or primitives representing the tile such that at least one map feature, such as a water feature, being displayed on the tileis bordered by a border regionthat represents a border to that map feature. In this way, a more visually appealing depiction of the map featurecan be achieved.
