Claim One:
1. A method of resolving a point location from a location reference, the location reference comprising a plurality of location reference points, each location reference point being representative of a node in a first digital map and having attributes associated therewith from the first digital map, including geographic coordinates of the node, so as to define a path between a start location reference point and an end location reference point, the location reference further comprising an offset value representative of a distance along the path, the method comprising: obtaining, using a processor, the geographic coordinates of the start location reference point and the end location reference point; determining, using the processor, geographic coordinates of a location along a line extending-between the geographic coordinates of the start location reference point and the end location reference point corresponding to the offset value; and using, by the processor, the determined geographic coordinates as an approximate location of the point location in a second digital map.
