Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method executed on a computer server for associating copyright information with map data for use on a display device comprising: receiving a request for map data from a client device; selecting, using the computer server, at least a tile of vector map data for transmission to the client device, responsive to the request for map data; associating copyright information with the tile of vector map data including providing a lookup table having a feature identifier for an individual map feature and a reference to corresponding copyright information; sending the tile of vector map data to the client device; and sending the copyright information as a separate text object as the tile of vector map data to the client device so that the client device determines whether at least a portion of the individual map feature being displayed on the client device exceeds a threshold size and dynamically updates copyright information displayed on the client device based on the portion of the individual map feature.
