1. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing a mapping application for execution by at least one processing unit of a device, the mapping application for displaying a map in a plurality of map browsing modes, the mapping application comprising sets of instructions for:
- defining a standard map browsing mode and a transit map browsing mode, wherein the standard map browsing mode visually emphasizes non-transit map features including roads while visually deemphasizing transit-related map features including transit lines, and the transit map browsing mode visually emphasizes transit-related map features while visually deemphasizing non-transit map features;
in the standard map browsing mode, displaying, on a display screen, a map of a region that includes a set of transit-related map features including a first transit line and a set of non-transit map features including a first road, wherein the first road is visually emphasized and the first transit line is visually deemphasized relative to the first road;
receiving, on the display screen, an input to select a transit mode control; and
in response to the selection of the transit mode control, switching from the standard map browsing mode to the transit map browsing mode to visually emphasize, on the display screen, the set of transit-related map features including the first transit line and visually deemphasize the non-transit map features including the first road relative to the first transit line.

Abstract
Some embodiments provide a mapping application that provides a first map browsing mode for displaying a map that emphasizes a first set of features in a map region. The mapping application also provides a second map browsing mode for displaying a map that de-emphasizes the first set of features while emphasizing a second set of transit-related features in the map region.

8. For a map browsing application that executes on an electronic device a method for displaying a region of a map differently in different map browsing modes, the method comprising:
-
defining a standard map browsing mode and a transit map browsing mode, wherein the standard map browsing mode visually emphasizes non-transit map features including roads while visually deemphasizing transit-related map features including transit lines, and the transit map browsing mode visually emphasizes transit-related map features while visually deemphasizing non-transit map features; in the standard map browsing mode, displaying, on a display screen, a map of a region that includes a set of transit-related map features including a first transit line and a set of non-transit map features including a first road, wherein the first road is visually emphasized and the first transit line is visually deemphasized relative to the first road; receiving, on the display screen, an input to select a transit mode control; and in response to the selection of the transit mode control, switching from standard browsing mode to transit browsing mode to visually emphasize, on the display screen, the set of transit-related map features including the first transit line and visually deemphasizing the non-transit map features including the first road relative to the first transit line. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
