Systems and methods of displaying route information on an electronic display
First Claim
1. A method implemented by a server communicatively coupled to a client device for causing the client device to display a graphical depiction of route information on an electronic display, the method comprising sending the client device executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processing circuits of the client device, cause the client device to:
- prior to receiving an input regarding a single location on the display, display each of serviced routes that extend within a geographic area and also display non-serviced routes within the geographic area, each of the serviced routes within the geographic area being displayed as continuous husks that extend along the entirety of the serviced routes throughout the geographic area, each of the husks having a common appearance that is different than the non-serviced routes and provides a uniform visual indication of an aggregate of the serviced routes; and
responsive to receiving the input regarding the single location on a selected one of the serviced routes, continue to display each of the serviced and non-serviced routes in the same visual manner as prior to receiving the input and display an additional highlight on the selected serviced route that has a different appearance than the non-serviced routes and the other serviced routes.

Abstract
Systems and methods of displaying route information on an electronic display. The information includes a number of routes that extend within the displayed area. A large amount of information about the routes is stored in or accessible by the system. Therefore, the systems and methods are configured to initially display a map with much of the information being withheld. This initial map is clean and the displayed information is relevant to the user. The system is then configured to receive input requesting that the system display more specific information about the relevant routes of interest to the user.
