SYSTEM FOR MANAGING THE NAVIGATIONAL USABILITY OF AN INTERACTIVE MAP
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a graphical user interface configured to organize and manage the layers of a digitized map, the graphical user interface including;
a layer hierarchy including a first layer and a second layer, a first display range defining a first set of map scales at which the first layer is displayed in the digitized map, and a second display range defining a second set of map scales at which the second layer is displayed in the digitized map; and
a display device displaying the graphical user interface.

Abstract
A graphical user interface for graphically managing the navigational usability of an interactive map is described. In one embodiment, the graphical user interface includes a layer hierarchy having a first layer and a second layer. The graphical user interface also includes a first display range bar associated with the first layer and configured to show a range of map scales at which the first layer is displayed in the digitized map. In addition, the graphical user interface includes a second display range bar associated with the second layer and configured to show a range of map scales at which the second layer is displayed in the digitized map.

12. A method for graphically organizing and managing layers of a digitized map, the method comprising:
-
generating a hierarchical display of layers that includes a first layer and a second layer;
displaying a first display range defining a first set of map scales at which the first layer is displayed in the digitized map based on user input; and
displaying a second display range defining a second set of map scales at which the second layer is displayed in the digitized map based on user input. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing unit, cause the processing unit to graphically organize and manage layers of a digitized map, by performing the steps of:
-
generating a hierarchical display of layers that includes a first layer and a second layer;
displaying a first display range defining a first set of map scales at which the first layer is displayed in the digitized map based on user input; and
displaying a second display range defining a second set of map scales at which the second layer is displayed in the digitized map based on user input. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
