Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: identifying, on a client device, one or more map points of interest; identifying, based on the map points of interest, pre-fetch map data tiles to be requested from a remote map database and stored on the client device for eventual rendering of a visual display of map data in response to a subsequent user request; determining, at the client device, a tile budget for storing the pre-fetch map data tiles at the client device; requesting, from a remote map database storing the map data, the pre-fetch map data tiles corresponding to one or more map points of interest; receiving, at the client device, the pre-fetch map data tiles from the remote map database; during receiving of the pre-fetch map data tiles: storing the received pre-fetch map data tiles in a local memory on the client device until a subsequent user request.
