1. A method comprising:
- displaying a map on a display device of a client device;
determining location data of the client device describing a current location of the client device based at least in part on one or more networks being accessible to a network sensor on the client device;
displaying, on the display device, an icon at icon coordinates on the map based at least in part on the map being displayed at a pre-specified zoom level on the client device and the location data of the client device being within a pre-specified geo-fence distance of the icon coordinates; and
in response to the location data of the client device being within the pre-specified geo-fence distance of the icon coordinates, displaying at least one item of overlay content on the display device of the client device;
determining that the location data of the client device is within another pre-specified geo-fence distance of additional icon coordinates of an additional icon;
determining that the map is not displayed at an additional pre-specified zoom level of the additional icon; and
requesting, from a server, additional overlay content pre-associated with the additional icon while not displaying the additional icon on the map.

Abstract
A content display system can control which content and how the content is displayed based on viewing parameters, such as a map zoom level, and physical distance parameters, e.g., a geo-fence distance and an icon visibility distance. Different combinations of input (e.g., zoom level and physical distances) yield a myriad of pre-set content displays on the client device, thereby allowing a creator of an icon to finely tune how content displayed otherwise accessed.

12. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors of a machine; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the machine to perform operations comprising; displaying a map on a display device of a client device; determining location data of the client device describing a current location of the client device based at least in part on one or more networks being accessible to a network sensor on the client device; displaying, on the display device, an icon at icon coordinates on the map based at least in part on the map being displayed at a pre-specified zoom level on the client device and the location data of the client device being within a pre-specified geo-fence distance of the icon coordinates; and in response to the location data of the client device being within the pre-specified geo-fence distance of the icon coordinates, displaying at least one item of overlay content on the display device of the client device; determining that the location data of the client device is within another pre-specified geo-fence distance of additional icon coordinates of an additional icon; determining that the map is not displayed at an additional pre-specified zoom level of the additional icon; and requesting, from a server, additional overlay content pre-associated with the additional icon while not displaying the additional icon on the map. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A machine-readable storage device embodying instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
-
displaying a map on a display device of a client device; determining location data of the client device describing a current location of the client device based at least in part on one or more networks being accessible to a network sensor on the client device; displaying, on the display device, an icon at icon coordinates on the map based at least in part on the map being displayed at a pre-specified zoom level on the client device and the location data of the client device being within a pre-specified geo-fence distance of the icon coordinates; and in response to the location data of the client device being within the pre-specified geo-fence distance of the icon coordinates, displaying at least one item of overlay content on the display device of the client device; determining that the location data of the client device is within another pre-specified geo-fence distance of additional icon coordinates of an additional icon; determining that the map is not displayed at an additional pre-specified zoom level of the additional icon; and requesting, from a server, additional overlay content pre-associated with the additional icon while not displaying the additional icon on the map. - View Dependent Claims (20)
