1. A computer-based method for removing discrepancies from an electronic map of a defined area, the electronic map stored within a database, said method comprising: collecting and storing location data for a plurality of vehicles as they traverse the defined area; determining an actual path of travel within the defined area for each of the vehicles from the stored location data; combining the actual paths of travel into a mean travel path; identifying discrepancies between the mean travel path for the vehicles and a vehicle travel path within the defined area previously defined and stored within the electronic map; and updating the components within the database that constitute the electronic map such that an updated path of travel is defined to be proximate the mean travel path, should the identified discrepancies exceed a threshold.
