Block view for geographic navigation
First Claim
1. A computerized system for navigation within a user interface, wherein the system comprises:
- a processor; and
memory storing computerized instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to;
receive an indication of a zoom-in on a map view of a geographic location displayed within the user interface;
determine that the zoom-in on the map view has reached a map zoom threshold;
in response to determining that the zoom-in has reached the map zoom threshold, display a block view of the geographic location;
receive an indication of a zoom-in on the block view of the geographic location, wherein the block view displays a side of a travel route through the geographic location;
determine that the zoom-in on the block view has reached a block zoom threshold; and
in response to determining that the zoom-in has reached the block zoom threshold, display a bubble view of the geographic location.

Abstract
Various embodiments provide techniques for geographic navigation via one or more block views. According to some embodiments, a block view can include a visual image of a geographic location that is visually similar to a panoramic image. In some example implementations, a block view can be scrolled to navigate images of a geographic location. In one or more embodiments, a bubble view can be displayed of one or more locations within the block view. The bubble view can include a zoomed image of one or more aspects of a block view. Further to some embodiments, a map view can be utilized along with the block view and/or the bubble view. The map view can include a two-dimensional representation of the geographic location from an aerial perspective, and can include a more general level of detail concerning the geographic location, such as streets, cities, states, bodies of water, and so on.

14. A computerized method for navigation within a user interface, the method comprising:
-
displaying a map view of a geographic location within the user interface; in response to receiving a zoom-in selection from the map view, zooming into the map view; in response to determining that map the view has reached the map zoom threshold, displaying a block view of the geographic location, wherein the block view comprises a side of a travel route through the geographic location; in response to receiving a zoom-in selection from the block view, zooming into the block view; and in response to determining that a block zoom threshold has been reached, displaying a bubble view of the geographic location. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
