Abstract
A method of displaying a map on a device includes determining position information of a position on the map, displaying a graphical position indicator representing the position on the map, determining address information corresponding to the position on the map, and presenting the address information via a user interface of the device by displaying a street number on the map adjacent to the graphical position indicator.
Claims20
A method of displaying a map on a wireless communications device, the method comprising:
- obtaining current position information for a current position of the wireless communications device, the current position information comprising a path segment of the map;
- displaying, via a user interface of the wireless communications device, a graphical position indicator representing the current position on the map;
- determining address information corresponding to the current position, the address information comprising an address range corresponding to the path segment;
- and
- displaying an indication of the address range.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising code which, when loaded into memory and executed on a processor of a wireless communications device, causes the device to:
- obtain current position information for a current position of the wireless communications device, the current position information comprising a path segment of a map;
- display, via a user interface of the wireless communications device, a graphical position indicator representing the current position on the map;
- determine address information corresponding to the current position, the address information comprising an address range corresponding to the path segment;
- display an indication of the address range.
A wireless communications device comprising:
- a display for displaying a map;
- memory;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and processor being configured to cause the wireless communications device to:
- obtain current position information for a current position of the wireless communications device, the current position information comprising a path segment;
- display, via a user interface of the wireless communications device, a graphical position indicator representing the current position on the map;
- determine address information corresponding to the current position, the address information comprising an address range corresponding to the path segment;
- display an indication of the address range.
