Abstract

A method is disclosed. The method includes identifying locations of one or more points of interest, identifying an area of interest on a map displayed on a display device, identifying points of interest within the area of interest, selecting a level of detail and clustering the points of interest within the level of detail based on the location of the points of interest relative proximity to other points of interest.

Claims

1. A computer-generated method comprising:

identifying locations of one or more points of interest

identifying an area of interest on a map displayed on a display device;

identifying points of interest within the area of interest;

selecting a level of detail; and

clustering the points of interest within the level of detail based on the location of the points of interest relative proximity to other points of interest.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising displaying the clustered points of interest on a map.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the area of interest includes one of the world, a continent, a country or a region.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the distance of the point of interest from the area of interest is determined using a distance formula.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein point of interest is deemed within the area of interest if within a predetermined distance the area of interest.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the locations are identified upon receiving a user selection via a graphical user interface (GUI).
