Displaying representative images in a visual mapping system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computing system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory device including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing system to;
receive a request to display a location of a computing device, the location associated with a geographic location, the computing device including an orientation component configured to determine an orientation of the computing device with respect to a reference coordinate system;
display a portion of a map, the portion of the map including a viewable area that includes an icon displayed at the location, the map oriented with respect to the reference coordinate system, the icon including a visual representation of a detected direction of orientation of the computing device with respect to the reference coordinate system;
receive a selection of an orientation element; and
update an orientation of the viewable area of the map to match the detected direction of orientation of the computing device with respect to the reference coordinate system.

Abstract
Embodiments provide systems and methods for generating a street map that includes a position identifier that identifies a location on the street map. The method and system may also generate and display a plurality of images representative of the location of the position identifier. A user may interact with a position identifier or one of several scroll icons to view images of other locations on the street map and/or to obtain driving directions between two locations.

17. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more sequences of instructions executable by one or more processors to perform a set of operations comprising:
-
receiving a request to display a location of a computing device, the location associated with a geographic location, the computing device including an orientation component configured to determine an orientation of the computing device with respect to a reference coordinate system; displaying a portion of a map, the portion of the map including a viewable area that includes an icon displayed at the location, the map oriented with respect to the reference coordinate system, the icon including a visual representation of a detected direction of orientation of the computing device with respect to the reference coordinate system; receiving a selection of an orientation element; and updating an orientation of the viewable area of the map to match the detected direction of orientation of the computing device with respect to the reference coordinate system. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
