Interface for Navigating Imagery
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- presenting a user interface on a display device, the user interface including a display area for presenting imagery, the imagery comprising a canonical view of a geographic area;
presenting a navigation control interface overlying the imagery, the navigation control interface configured to rotate the imagery among a plurality of canonical views of the geographic area upon user interaction with the navigation control interface, the navigation control interface comprising a direction indicating portion that indicates a compass direction associated with the canonical view presented on the display device;
receiving a user input directed to the navigation control interface; and
rotating the direction indicating portion and the imagery synchronously in response to the user input directed to the navigation control interface.

Abstract
A user interface for rotating imagery among a plurality of canonical views of a geographic area of interest is disclosed. The interface includes at least one rotation control icon for rotating the imagery among a plurality of canonical views of the geographic area, and a direction indicating portion that indicates a compass direction associated with the canonical view presented on the display device. In particular implementations, the interface can be configured to come into view over the imagery whenever a user navigates to a particular view of the imagery where a plurality of canonical views is available. The motion of the navigation control interface appearing into the imagery is intended to draw attention to the control interface to inform the user that additional canonical views are available.
