Abstract
A method for generating one or more navigational charts for a geographic area is described. The method includes determining a frequency of travel between a plurality of destinations for the geographic area, the geographic area including a number of travel routes therein, defining one or more bounding boxes for placement within the geographic area, where the placement optimizes the number of travel routes within each bounding box, and generating one or more navigation charts for the area that have boundaries based on the bounding box definitions.
