OPTIMAL ZOOM INDICATORS FOR MAP SEARCH RESULTS
First Claim
1. A computer program product for indicating an optimal magnification level when displaying search query results in a mapping application comprising:
- a storage media, said storage media not only a propagating signal, said storage media tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the computer for performing a method comprising;
obtaining search results for a business or category of interest in a geographical area;
determining the search results to be displayed within a mapping application;
determining an optimal magnification level corresponding to a search result;
generating a magnification indicator for indicating an optimal magnification level for the search result to be displayed within the mapping application; and
adjusting the display within the mapping application to change to the determined optimal magnification level responsive to selecting the magnification indicator for that search result.
