Method, system and apparatus for providing visual feedback of a map view change
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- performing, by a computing device;
displaying a map view of a map in a map view mode in a map display, wherein said map view is displayed in a particular map view mode;
obtaining input during display of the map view, the input indicating a change to a different map view mode for displaying the map view; and
in response to the change to the different map view mode, displaying an animation to illustrate that the map view mode in which the map view is displayed has changed to the different map view mode,wherein said animation renders the map view at a plurality of different virtual camera positions while adjusting an orientation of a virtual camera to maintain a stationary field of view,and wherein the virtual camera ends the animation to render data for the map at a virtual camera position associated with the change to the different map view mode.

Abstract
Methods, systems and apparatus are described to provide visual feedback of a change in map view. Various embodiments may display a map view of a map in a two-dimensional map view mode. Embodiments may obtain input indicating a change to a three-dimensional map view mode. Input may be obtained through the utilization of touch, auditory, or other well-known input technologies. Some embodiments may allow the input to request a specific display position to display. In response to the input indicating a change to a three-dimensional map view mode, embodiments may then display an animation that moves a virtual camera for the map display to different virtual camera positions to illustrate that the map view mode is changed to a three-dimensional map view mode.

9. A system, comprising:
-
a memory; and one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the memory comprises program instructions implementing a map display component executable by the one or more processors to; display a map view of a map in a map view mode on a map display device, wherein said map view is displayed in a particular map view mode; obtain input via an input device during display of the map view, the input indicating a change to a different map view mode for display of the map view; and in response to the change to the different map view mode, display an animation to illustrate that the map view mode in which the map view is displayed has changed to the different map view mode, wherein said animation renders the map view at a plurality of different virtual camera positions while adjusting an orientation of a virtual camera to maintain a stationary field of view, and wherein the virtual camera ends the animation to render data for the map at a virtual camera position associated with the change to the different map view mode. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions, wherein, the program instructions are computer-executable to implement a map application configured to perform:
-
displaying a map view of a map in a map view mode in a map display, wherein said map view is displayed in a particular map view mode; obtaining input during display of the map view, the input indicating a change to a different map view mode for displaying the map view; and in response to the change to the different map view mode, displaying an animation to illustrate that the map view mode in which the map view is displayed has changed to the different map view mode, wherein said animation renders the map view at a plurality of different virtual camera positions while adjusting an orientation of a virtual camera to maintain a stationary field of view, and wherein the virtual camera ends the animation to render data for the map at a virtual camera position associated with the change to the different map view mode. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
