Introduction To Road Data - Part One ("Even more important than visualization is the network aspect of the roads associated with the map data. The underlying map data used to route vehicles are an integral part of any vehicle routing application. The map may impact the visualization part of those applications, but it is even more important when it comes to the networking properties of the map data. Why? Because the algorithms, which determine how to assign stops and how to drive to and sequence stops, are completely dependent on the map's network dataset.")
