Integrating maps and street views
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- outputting, for display in a first region of a user interface, an overhead representation of an area;
outputting a visual indicator for display on the overhead representation, the visual indicator having a position, a directional orientation, and an appearance;
outputting, for display in a second region of the user interface, a first-person perspective view of the area, the first-person perspective view corresponding to the position and directional orientation of the visual indicator and having a field of view that corresponds to the appearance of the visual indicator;
identifying a plurality of features within the overhead representation of the area that are also within the first-person perspective view of the area, each of the plurality of identified features associated with map data describing a location of the feature and other attribute information of the feature; and
projecting the plurality of identified features onto the overhead representation, wherein projecting the plurality of identified features comprises marking the plurality of identified features in the overhead representation in a manner that visibly distinguishes the plurality of identified features from one or more additional features within the overhead representation of the area, wherein the one or more additional features are not within the first-person perspective view of the area.

Abstract
Methods and systems for improved integration of an overhead representation (e.g., a map) with a street view representation. A user interface with at least two regions is output for display to a user. One region includes an overhead representation of an area and an interactive control overlaid onto the overhead representation. Another region includes a street view perspective that has a point of view corresponding to a position and directional orientation of the interactive control. Information about a user input that adjusts the interactive control is received and the street view perspective is updated to track the control as it is adjusted. The field of view of the street view perspective may be reflected in the appearance of the interactive control. Additionally, the street view perspective may follow the location of a marker as it is moved around the overhead representation.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
-
output, for display in a first region of a user interface, an overhead representation of an area; output a visual indicator for display on the overhead representation, the visual indicator having a position, a directional orientation, and an appearance; output, for display in a second region of the user interface, a first-person perspective view of the area, the first-person perspective view corresponding to the position and directional orientation of the visual indicator and having a field of view that corresponds to the appearance of the visual indicator; identify a plurality of features within the overhead representation of the area that are also within the first-person perspective view of the area, each of the plurality of identified features associated with map data describing a location of the feature and other attribute information of the feature; and project the plurality of identified features onto the overhead representation, wherein projecting the plurality of identified features comprises marking the plurality of identified features in the overhead representation in a manner that visibly distinguishes the plurality of identified features from one or more additional features within the overhead representation of the area, wherein the one or more additional features are not within the first-person perspective view of the area. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system comprising:
-
a processor; and non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to; output, for display in a first region of a user interface, an overhead representation of an area; output a visual indicator for display on the overhead representation, the visual indicator having a position, a directional orientation, and an appearance; output, for display in a second region of the user interface, a first-person perspective view of the area, the first-person perspective view corresponding to the position and directional orientation of the visual indicator and having a field of view that corresponds to the appearance of the visual indicator; identify a plurality of features within the overhead representation of the area that are also within the first-person perspective view of the area, each of the plurality of identified features associated with map data describing a location of the feature and other attribute information of the feature; and project the plurality of identified features onto the overhead representation, wherein projecting the plurality of identified features comprises marking the plurality of identified features in the overhead representation in a manner that visibly distinguishes the plurality of identified features from one or more additional features within the overhead representation of the area, wherein the one or more additional features are not within the first-person perspective view of the area. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
