Patent ID: 8717387

Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving first map data, the first map data having been provided by a first image source, wherein the first image source is associated with a first reliability value; receiving second map data, the second map data having been provided by a second image source, wherein the second image source is associated with a second reliability value, the first map data and the second map data identifying geographical features for display on a map, wherein the first map data corresponds to a same location on the map as the second map data, the first map data being misaligned with respect to the second map data; comparing the first reliability value to a threshold to derive a first comparison result; comparing the second reliability value to the threshold to derive a second comparison result; adjusting at least one of the first map data and the second map data based on the first and second comparison results to align the first map data and the second map data; and providing the aligned first and second map data for presentation to a user.
