1. A method of displaying a flyover, the method comprising:

  • receiving data relating to a roadway system;

    receiving a request for a graphical depiction of a flyover of a route on the roadway system and an identification of a location to be represented in the flyover, wherein the location is at least one of a start point of the route, an end point of the route, and a point of interest; and

    generating the graphical depiction of the flyover for display on a display of a computing device, wherein the graphical depiction of the flyover includes aspects that simulate different flyover velocities for different portions of the flyover, wherein the different flyover velocities are based at least in part on distances from the location represented in the flyover from each of the different portions of the flyover, and wherein;

    the different flyover velocities include a first velocity for a first portion of the flyover and a second velocity for a second portion of the flyover;

    the first portion is at a first distance from the location;

    the second portion is at a second distance from the location;

    the second distance is less than the first distance; and

    the first velocity is faster than the second velocity.
