SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NAVIGATION WITH INERTIAL CHARACTERISTICS
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the memory comprises program instructions executable by the one or more processors to implement a navigation component configured to;
generate a map display including at least a portion of a map and a position indicator representing a location of a user on the map, wherein the position indicator is positioned in a first position relative to the map display;
detect that the user is turning in a direction of travel; and
responsive to said detection, shift the position indicator within the map display in a direction opposite to said direction of travel, said shifting causing additional map information to be displayed in said direction of travel.

Abstract
Embodiments of a system and method for navigation with inertial characteristics are described. Embodiments may include a navigation component configured to generate a map display including at least a portion of a map and a position indicator representing a location of a user on the map. The position indicator may be positioned in a first position relative to the map display. The navigation component may be configured to detect that the user is turning in a direction of travel. The navigation component may also be configured to, responsive to the detection that the user is turning in the specific direction of travel, shift the position indicator within the map display in a direction opposite to the detected direction of travel. The shifting may cause additional map information to be displayed in the direction of travel. In various embodiments, the position indicator may be returned to the first position post-turn.

6. An electronic device, comprising:
-
an electronic display; a positioning component configured to determine a current location of the electronic device; a navigation component configured to; generate a graphical map on the electronic display including a position indicator representing a location of a user on the map as specified by the positioning component, wherein the position indicator is positioned in a first position within the electronic display; detect that the user is turning in a direction of travel; and responsive to said detection, shift the position indicator within the electronic display in a direction opposite to said direction of travel, said shifting causing additional map information to be displayed in said direction of travel. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
generating a map display including at least a portion of a map and a position indicator representing a location of a user on the map, wherein the position indicator is positioned in a first position relative to the map display; evaluating a navigation route to determine that the user is expected to turn in a direction of travel; and responsive to a determination that the user is expected to turn in said direction of travel, shifting the position indicator within the map display in a direction opposite to said direction of travel;
wherein said shifting causes additional map information to be displayed in said direction of travel. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable storage medium, storing program instructions computer-executable on a computer to implement a mapping application configured to:
-
display a map of a geographic region within a display window; display on the map a graphical indicator of a user'"'"'s position within said geographic region; detect that the user is turning in a direction of travel or is expected to turn in said direction of travel; and responsive to said detection, shift the map and the graphical indicator of the user'"'"'s position within the display window to cause additional map information to be displayed in said direction of travel. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A multifunction device, comprising:
-
a touch-responsive display; a positioning component configured to determine a current location of the multifunction device; one or more processors; one or more memories storing a mapping application executable on the one or more processors to; receive position information from the positioning component, the positioning information specifying the location of the multifunction device within a geographic region at different instances in time; generate a graphical map on the touch-responsive display including a position indicator representing a location of the multifunction device based on the position information, wherein the position indicator is positioned in a first position on the touch-responsive display; detect that the multifunction device is turning in a direction of travel; and responsive to said detection, shift the position indicator within the electronic display in a direction opposite to said direction of travel, said shifting causing additional map information to be displayed in said direction of travel. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
