Browsing user interface for a geo-coded media database
First Claim
1. A graphic user interface for querying a database of media that is tagged with geographic location information and displaying the query results, comprising interchangeable panels that are used for determining query constraints and viewing query results of a database of media that is tagged with geographic location information;
- and media dots that are aligned with a grid that encompasses the geographic location information of the media in the database, wherein said media dots indicated how many media are associated with a grid location on the map.

Abstract
The invention is a user interface for browsing a database of media that is tagged by geographic location information including photos, videos, and panoramas. Interchangeable panels are used for determining query constraints and viewing query results, grid-aligned media dots indicate how many media should be associated with a location on a map, and a reflective UI shows how query constraints and query results are related through cursor interaction.
