## Abstract

Systems and methods of augmented reality mapping are disclosed. Tags associated with collections of interest, areas of interest, and/or points of interest may be superimposed over a video feed of a user device. In response to movement of the user device a single tag associated with a collection of interest may replace a plurality of tags associated with a plurality of points of interest within the collection of interest.
