METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING A PERSPECTIVE DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- a request to generate a perspective display of one or more items of a location-based user interface, the request specifying first location information associated with a viewing location;
at least one determination to define a surface with respect to the first location information, wherein the surface is divided into an array of cells;
a processing of second location information associated with the one or more items to map one or more representations of the one or more items onto one or more of the cells; and
a processing of the first location information to determine at least a portion of the surface to cause, at least in part, rendering of the perspective display.

Abstract
An approach is provided for generating a perspective display. A display manager receives a request to generate a perspective display of one or more items of a location-based user interface, the request specifying first location information associated with a viewing location. The display manager determines to define a surface with respect to the first location information, wherein the surface is divided into an array of cells receives an input, from the device, for selecting a group of the points of interest on the mapping display and captures an image of the mapping display based on the input. The display manager then processes and/or facilitates a processing of second location information associated with the one or more items to map one or more representations of the one or more items onto one or more of the cells. Finally, the display manager processes and/or facilitates a processing of the first location information to determine at least a portion of the surface to cause, at least in part, rendering of the perspective display.
