1. A method of processing geographical imagery, the method comprising:

  • accessing, by one or more processors, a plurality of unstitched images of a target location, wherein each of the unstitched images represents the target location as viewed from a street-level camera position different than other unstitched images in the plurality;

    ranking the plurality of unstitched images according to at least one factor, the at least one factor including proximity of image view point to a view point of a user;

    selecting, by one or more processors, one or more unstitched images from the plurality of unstitched images based on the ranking; and

    providing for display, by one or more processors, the one or more selected unstitched images in conjunction with other images of the target location from different viewpoints around a perimeter of the target location to create a transitioning effect, such that the target location is displayed in a general center of each of the selected unstitched image and the other images when changing viewpoints between images.
