Think of a navigation system with lane assistance - it's just a renderer with a very high zoom level. ;-) > The point about car navigation systems is > incorrect. It does not care about the highway way position (and no GPS > device is accurate enough to determine on which lane you are). You got me wrong: the exact position is irrelevant. This tagging is about the position and course of the lanes within(!) the outline of the road. The navigation system should present you with a representation of the road ahead that is as realistic as possible. Especially the course of the lanes is very important, because drivers strongly rely on the geometry of the road: they should recognize it in the lane assistance. It's all about representation! I most certainly have to create an example (for consumers) which shows how to estimate the course of the lanes. Thanks for your feedback.
