DCFirst Claim
1. A method for displaying object vector indicators (“
- OVI”
) and mapping-media content, referencing map-objects (“
MO”
) on an electronic map, comprising;
obtaining a MO from a mapping service;
determining that coordinates of the MO are not within a selected area of the electronic map;
computing distance and travel-related information to the MO;
displaying an OVI containing the distance and travel-related information;
receiving user input selecting the OVI;
retrieving mapping-media content associated with the selected OVI; and
displaying the mapping-media content.

Abstract
A method for displaying object vector indicators (“OVI”) and mapping-media content, referencing map-objects (“MO”) on an electronic map, the method including determining that at least one MO is outside a visible area of a displayed map, creating an OVI to reference the MO, displaying the OVI on the electronic map, receiving user input selecting the OVI, retrieving media-content associated with the MO and displaying the media-content. In various embodiments, the OVI may contain various navigation information referencing the OVI; the OVI may be displayed at the periphery of the displayed map; the OVI may be repositioned in response to a changing in position of an electronic device displaying the OVI and/or the MO, etc.
