BLOCK VIEW FOR GEOGRAPHIC NAVIGATION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- causing, with a computing device, a block view and a bubble view of a geographic location to be displayed as part of a user interface;
receiving, with the computing device, an indication of navigation within one or more of the block view or the bubble view; and
when the navigation is within the block view, causing, with the computing device and responsive to the navigation within the block view, navigation within the bubble view.

Abstract
Various embodiments provide techniques for geographic navigation via one or more block views. According to some embodiments, a block view can include a visual image of a geographic location that is visually similar to a panoramic image. In some example implementations, a block view can be scrolled to navigate images of a geographic location. In one or more embodiments, a bubble view can be displayed of one or more locations within the block view. The bubble view can include a zoomed image of one or more aspects of a block view. Further to some embodiments, a map view can be utilized along with the block view and/or the bubble view. The map view can include a two-dimensional representation of the geographic location from an aerial perspective, and can include a more general level of detail concerning the geographic location, such as streets, cities, states, bodies of water, and so on.
