AUTOMATIC MAP ZOOM-LEVEL ADAPTATION
First Claim
1. A method for dynamically determining a zoom-level to display to a user of a mapping application executing on a mobile device, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining the zoom-level in accordance with at least one predefined parameter;
monitoring the at least one predefined parameter for detecting a change;
determining a new zoom-level that corresponds with the detected change in the at least one predefined parameter; and
changing the zoom-level of the mapping application to the new zoom-level.

Abstract
A method is provided for dynamically determining a zoom-level to display to a user of a mapping application executing on a mobile device. The method comprises the following steps. The zoom-level is determined in accordance with at least one predefined parameter. The at least one predefined parameter is monitored for detecting a change. A new zoom-level corresponding with the detected change is determined. Lastly, the zoom-level of the mapping application is changed to the new zoom-level. A mobile device and computer-readable medium configured to implement the method are also provided.
