Method and apparatus for providing list-based exploration of mapping data
First Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- an association of one or more features of a geographical area with one or more list objects;
a processing of location information associated with one or more map data items to group, to sort, or a combination thereof the one or more map data items into the one or more list objects; and
a rendering of at least one of the one or more list objects as a representation of a map in a user interface,wherein the user interface includes one or more user interface elements for controlling a browsing of the one or more map data items in the at least one of the one or more list objects.

Abstract
An approach is provided for providing list-based exploration of mapping data. The list-based exploration platform causes, at least in part, an association of one or more features of a geographical area with one or more list objects. Next, the list-based exploration platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of location information associated with one or more map data items to group, to sort, or a combination thereof the one or more map data items into the one or more list objects. Then, the list-based exploration platform causes, at least in part, a rendering of at least one of the one or more list objects in a user interface, wherein the user interface includes one or more user interface elements for controlling a browsing of the one or more map data items in the at least one of the one or more list objects.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, cause, at least in part, an association of one or more features of a geographical area with one or more list objects; process and/or facilitate a processing of location information associated with one or more map data items of a first map to group, to sort, or a combination thereof the one or more map data items into the one or more list objects; and cause, at least in part, a rendering of at least one of the one or more list objects as a representation of a second map in a user interface, the second map based on the one or more list objects appearing different than the first map based on the one or more map data items, wherein the user interface includes one or more user interface elements for controlling a browsing of the one or more map data items in the at least one of the one or more list objects. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
