1. A method for rendering a feature in a map, comprising: performing by a computer: receiving data defining a curve of the feature as a Bézier path; determining a resolution at which the feature is to be displayed, wherein said determining is dependent on a performance characteristic of a device on which the feature is to be rendered; determining a number of points on the curve for which data is to be extracted from the received data dependent on the determined resolution; extracting data representing each of the determined number of points on the curve from the received data; and rendering the feature in the map dependent on the extracted data.
