IMAGE VIEW IN MAPPING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- identifying a location along a route;
determining, with a processor, a view direction from the location;
selecting, with the processor, a real-world image based on the view direction and the location;
generating a map showing the route;
overlaying the real-world image on the map;
displaying the map with the real-world image overlay; and
repeating the identifying, selecting, and displaying for different locations along the route such that the real-world image updates as the location along the route changes.

Abstract
Mapping or navigation incorporates a real-world view. A map representing a region as a first computer generated graphic is displayed. The map may alternatively be a satellite view. A route is indicated on the map. The route is a computer generated graphic. A real-world image of a view from a location or sequence of image from locations along the route is overlaid on the map, such as being in a small box on the map.
