Personalized and context-sensitive 3d route guidance

A method of displaying a navigation map includes determining a route of a vehicle. Three-dimensional data is received. The data is associated with buildings that are disposed within a geographic area. The geographic area includes the route of the vehicle. At least one of the buildings in the data that is adjacent to at least one street of the route is rendered in a first opaque visual style. All of the buildings in the data that are nonadjacent to at least one street of the route are rendered in at least one second visual style different from the first opaque visual style.
