Abstract: A route from a current location of a portable device to a destination is determined, where the route includes a sequence of directed sections. Navigation instructions to guide a user of the portable device along the route to the destination are generated. To this end, candidate navigation landmarks perceptible within a 360-degree range of the current location of the portable device are identified, a navigation landmark disposed in a direction substantially opposite to the direction of the first one in the sequence of directed sections is selected from among the candidate navigation landmarks, and an initial instruction in the navigation instructions is generated and provided via a user interface of the portable device. The initial instruction references the selected navigation landmark.

Abstract: A visibility support system includes: a positioning unit that estimates a position of an industrial vehicle; a route prediction unit that predicts a route of a part of the industrial vehicle or an object moving together with the industrial vehicle with reference to the position estimated, and calculates an interference position at which an obstacle interferes with the route on the basis of map data containing position information of the obstacle; a display unit configured to be worn on a head of a person, the display unit having transparency and being capable of displaying image data; and a control unit that displays image data of the route such that the image data is superimposed on a position of the route in a real world viewable through the display unit, the route starting from the part or the object at the position estimated and ending at the interference position.

Abstract: Methods and devices and systems related to a computing device for providing a route with augmented reality (AR) are described. An example method can include receiving, at a computing device, a trigger associated with a first location of the computing device, tracking movement of the computing device relative to the first location, and providing a route back to the first location from a second location reached during the tracked movement. The route can include displayed AR.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a mapping application that displays a rotation of a 3D map and corresponding rotation of a set of map labels overlaying the 3D map in response to receiving input to rotate the 3D map. When a particular map label in the set of map labels rotates towards an upside down orientation, the mapping application also replaces the particular map label with a version of the particular map label arranged in a right side up orientation to prevent the particular map label from being displayed in the upside down orientation in the 3D map.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide several novel methods for generating a navigation presentation that displays a device navigating a route on a map. The method of some embodiments uses a virtual camera that, based on detected changes in the navigation context, dynamically modifies the way it captures portions of the map to produce different navigation scenes in the navigation presentation. To generate the navigation scenes, the method of some embodiments (1) identifies different sets of attributes that describe the different navigation contexts at different times during the navigation presentation, and (2) uses these different sets of attributes to identify different styles for operating the virtual camera. In some embodiments, the method uses an identified style to specify the virtual camera's positional attributes, which, in turn, define the portions of the map that the virtual camera identifies for rendering to produce several navigation scenes for a period of time (e.g., until the navigation context changes, or until the navigation presentation ends when the navigation context does not change again). During the navigation presentation, each time the navigation context changes, the identified set of attributes may change. This change, in turn, may cause the method of some embodiments to select a new style for operating the virtual camera. When the style for operating the virtual camera changes, the method of some embodiments modifies the way the virtual camera captures the portion of the map to render.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and an apparatuses for acquiring route popularity in road networks. One exemplary method includes: acquiring a plurality of points of interest (POIs) included in road networks and positioning data of a plurality of positioning terminals; mapping the positioning data of each positioning terminal to POIs included in the road networks to obtain one or more POIs associated with the positioning terminal; acquiring a travel route map of the positioning terminal according to the one or more POIs associated with the positioning terminal; acquiring a preferred travel route of the positioning terminal according to the travel route map of the positioning terminal; and aggregating the preferred travel routes of the plurality of positioning terminals to obtain a route popularity distribution map of the road networks. The present disclosure can address the technical problem of low efficiency in determining route popularity in road networks due to complex traffic data extraction and processing procedures.

Abstract: Navigation application programming interfaces that can be used to obtain navigation information in third party software applications are provided. In one example implementation, an application programming interface (API) can include a first set of instructions associated with a navigator class. The navigator class can specify a plurality of functions to control the implementation of a navigation service by the software application. The navigation service can provide navigation information to a user of the software application. The API can include a second set of instructions associated with a navigator delegate protocol. The navigator delegate protocol can be a delegate of the navigator class. The navigator delegate protocol can implement one or more calls to update the navigation information provided as part of the navigation service.

Abstract: A high-definition map system receives sensor data from vehicles travelling along routes and combines the data to generate a high definition map for use in driving vehicles, for example, for guiding autonomous vehicles. A pose graph is built from the collected data, each pose representing location and orientation of a vehicle. The pose graph is optimized to minimize constraints between poses. Points associated with surface are assigned a confidence measure determined using a measure of hardness/softness of the surface. A machine-learning-based result filter detects bad alignment results and prevents them from being entered in the subsequent global pose optimization. The alignment framework is parallelizable for execution using a parallel/distributed architecture. Alignment hot spots are detected for further verification and improvement. The system supports incremental updates, thereby allowing refinements of sub-graphs for incrementally improving the high-definition map for keeping it up to date
