Apparatus, and an associated method, for providing traffic route
visualization. An electronic map device creates a map that is displayable
at a user display of a user interface. The map is created through the
access of a traffic image data base and a traffic information data base.
Information stored at the data bases is obtained in a collaborative
effort to provide and maintain updated information thereat. Images stored
at the image data base comprise actual image files or photo realistic
images that are consolidated together with traffic information. The
resultant map is of characteristics permitting quick comprehension by a
viewer thereof.
