Systems and methods for creating maps used in navigating autonomous vehicles are disclosed. In one implementation at least one processor is programmed to receive drive information from each of a plurality of vehicles that traverse different entrance-exit combinations of a road junction; for each of the entrance-exit combinations, align three-dimensional feature points in the drive information to generate a plurality of aligned three-dimensional feature point groups, one for each entrance-exit combination of the road junction; correlate one or more three-dimensional feature points in each of the plurality of aligned three-dimensional feature point groups with one or more three-dimensional feature points included in every other aligned three-dimensional feature point group from among the plurality of aligned three-dimensional feature point groups; and generate a sparse map based on the correlation, the sparse map including a target trajectory associated with each of the entrance-exit combinations.
