1. A system for creating customized labeled maps, comprising:
- a presentation device;
a mapping system configured to access map data and use the map data to display a map using the presentation device based on a selectable elevation value; and
a clickmap system configured to automatically create and display at least one label located in proximity to a user selected position on the map based on a selected height above the user selected position,wherein the map data includes geocoded information,wherein the at least one label is based on reverse geocoded information associated with the user selected position, andwherein content included within the at least one label is automatically selected based on the elevation value of the map view when the user selected position is selected by a user,wherein the selected content is not varied with changes in the elevation value of the map view.

12. A method for creating customized labeled maps, comprising:
-
displaying, by one or more computing devices, a map using a presentation device based on a selectable elevation value, wherein the map is associated with geocoded information, wherein each of the one or more computing devices comprises one or more processors; selecting, by the one or more computing devices, at least one position on the displayed map; and creating and providing for display, by the one or more computing devices, at least one label located in proximity to the selected position based on a selected height above the user selected position, wherein the at least one label includes information based on reverse geocoded information associated with the selected position, wherein content included within the at least one label is automatically selected based on the elevation value of the map view when the user selected position is selected by a user and wherein the selected content is not varied with changes in the elevation value of the map view. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
