the information density of a proposed c non linear map area 316 would be defined as the number of aoi 39 s in c area of c a set of final coordinates a b c is determined when the standard deviation of the information densities for a b c is less than a defined threshold or a maximum number of iterations has occurred the two foregoing non limiting exemplary embodiments for mapping from linear u2192 non linear map areas show two completely different methods for accomplishing a linear to non linear map transform accordingly a person having ordinary skills in the art can readily see that the present invention is not limited in scope to any particular type of devices methodologies criteria and rules for the map transform process which may be of any type or design additionally the scope of the invention is not limited by the devices media or systems on which information is gathered computed or transmitted at this point the non linear map areas 311 a b c exist as three rectangles each with four coordinates fig1 explains how the non linear map areas 311 a b c are populated with non linear map data for assembly into the final internal non linear map 116 at this point the size and coordinates of a b c are known but there is no actual non linear map data within any of the non linear rectangles in a non limiting example as shown in fig1 the internal non linear map module 116 takes the areas of interest c 312 at its original scale as in fig1 and inserts it into the rectangle containing the non linear map segment area c 316 in fig1.
