Abstract
A method includes obtaining a first map element from a first map, identifying second map elements from a second map based on locations of the second map elements relative to the first map element, and identifying first and second point on the second map elements based on proximity to beginning and ending points of the first map element. One or more of the second map elements define a corresponding portion of the second map between the first point and the second point. The method also includes determining a registration score for the first map element relative to the corresponding portion of the second map, and in response to determining that the registration score indicates a match between the first map element and the corresponding portion of the second map, defining registration information that describes a relationship between the first map element and the corresponding portion of the second map.
