Claim One:
1. A method of rendering features of digital maps, the method comprising: selecting, using one or more processors, a map tile corresponding to a certain geographic area and a certain zoom level, the map tile containing indications of geometries for a plurality of map features; determining, using the one or more processors, a distance between a virtual camera and each corner of the map tile, wherein at least two of the resulting distances are different; determining, for each of the corners using the one or more processors, a corner level-of-detail (LOD) based on the corresponding distance from the virtual camera; and providing (i) the indications of geometries for the plurality of map features and (ii) the determined corner LODs to a rendering engine for rendering each of the plurality of map features using LODs interpolated between the corner LODs, as part of generating a view of a digital map.
