12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further operative with the set of instructions to: determine (i) a first road corresponding to a longitude and latitude specified by the first positional data element and (ii) a second road corresponding to a longitude and latitude specified by the second positional data element; and correlate the first and second roads with mapping data to identify the first and second route links, the first route link being associated with the first road, and the second route link being associated with the second road.
11. An apparatus, comprising: a storage device that stores a set of instructions; and at least one processor coupled to the storage device, the at least one processor being operative with the set of instructions in order to: obtain first and second positional data elements, the first and second positional data elements being associated with corresponding first and second times, the first time being subsequent to the second time; identify a first route link corresponding to the first positional data element and a second route link corresponding to the second positional data element; determine whether the first route link and the second route link correspond to a common route link; and generate a portion of a routing graph that includes the common route link, when the first route link and the second route link correspond to the common route link.
