Abstract
Provided is an electronic device and method for providing three-dimensional (3D) map processing and a 3D map service. The electronic device includes a memory configured to store an image set and a map platform module which is functionally connected with the memory and is implemented with a processor. The map platform module is configured to obtain an image set comprising a plurality of images for a path on an external space surrounding the electronic device, to determine an area corresponding to an object included in the external space from at least one of the plurality of images, to obtain information about the object based on whether the object is configured to communicatively connect with the electronic device, and to display the information in association with the area through a display functionally connected with the electronic device. Other embodiments are also possible.
