INTERACTIVE NAVIGATION AND VIEW SELECTION IN DIGITAL CARTOGRAPHY
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a mapping component that receives cartographic data for viewing in multiple views on a display;
a view component that presents the cartographic data in an interactive secondary view and a primary portion of the cartographic data in an interactive primary view, the primary and secondary views are located relative to a fixed position of a display; and
a processor that executes computer-executable instructions associated with at least one of the mapping component or the view component.

Abstract
Architecture that enables interactive navigation and view selection in digital cartography. Multiple mapping views (or zoom levels) can be presented concurrently in a map area of the display. The mapping views are located and presented in relation to a fixed position of the display for interactive selection (e.g., on touch screens). A center area of the map area includes a primary view for presentation of a portion of a map, and one or more secondary areas (on the periphery of the center area) that present one or multiple secondary views. Note that the primary and secondary views differentiate the amount of map details presented. For example, the primary view can show more detailed cartographic data while the secondary view(s) show less detail, but a greater amount of cartographic data for the geographical region surrounding the primary view.

9. A method, comprising acts of:
-
generating a primary interactive view and a secondary interactive view of cartographic data, the secondary interactive view related geographically to the primary interactive view and depicts less detailed map information than the primary interactive view; maintaining alignment of the primary interactive view and the secondary interactive view relative to a fixed position of a display; processing interactions with the primary interactive view and secondary interactive view to change presentation of the cartographic data according to the interactions; and utilizing a processor that executes instructions stored in memory to perform at least one of the acts of generating, maintaining, or processing. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method, comprising acts of:
-
generating a primary interactive map view and secondary interactive map views of map information, the secondary interactive map views visually related geographically to the primary interactive map view and depict less detailed map information than the primary interactive map view; maintaining location of the primary interactive map view and the secondary interactive map views relative to a fixed position of a display; enabling different zoom levels for the primary interactive map view and the secondary interactive map views; updating the secondary interactive map views with new map information in response to a move interaction in the primary interactive map view; and utilizing a processor that executes instructions stored in memory to perform at least one of the acts of generating, maintaining, enabling, or updating. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
