Abstract
A method for transforming a map based on associated geospatial data. A map is segmented into logical segments representing map-based entities. The geospatial data is then associated with the logical segments. The logical segments are scaled based upon the associated data. The logical segments are then repositioned to avoid overlapping other logical segments and a new map display based on the scaled and repositioned logical segments is provided.
