Abstract
A computing device can identify, for a placement of a label, a first and second character of the label that have a shortest distance from one another. The placement for the label can define a position at which the label is to be placed in an interactive geographic map and a formatting for that label. The computing device can determine that the first and second identified characters do not overlap. In response to determining that the first and second characters do not overlap, the computing device can select the placement of the label for display in the interactive geographic map.
