A system and method that provides economical and accurate data for a
selected area (jurisdiction) from a centralized location by generating a
base-line map from commercially available information and distributing
portions of this map to local jurisdictions. Inaccuracies and other
information only available locally are stored in a local database.
Periodically these databases are uploaded to a central location and
reconciled with the base line map. Advantageously, such reconciliation
may include a rules based reconciliation wherein the geo-coordinates from
the commercial vendors are used and applied to the local data. A new base
line map is then generated and distributed back to the local user. In
this manner, the local user has an accurate yet economical map.
