Abstract

The invention is a system for sharing a map-matching result, comprising - a map-matching module (30) adapted for - receiving a digital map data (28, 28') from a map provider (24), - receiving a location information, - performing a map-matching on the received location information using the digital map data (28, 28'), and - generating a map-matched location information, and - a map-matching result sharing module (34) that is connected to the map- matching module (30), wherein the map-matching result sharing module (34) is adapted for - receiving the map-matched location information from the map-matching module (30), and - assembling a message (36, 36') including the map-matched location information as a map-matching result to be shared. The invention is further a method for receiving a shared map-matched location information and matching the shared map-matched location information with a local map by a receiving entity (44). The invention also relates to a computer program product and a computer readable medium carrying out the method.
