Graphical user interface to reduce obscured features

A computer implemented method to render graphical user interfaces comprising potentially obscured features in response to receiving a first user interaction with a map of a client computing device, comprising:

• identifying an origin location;
• determining a first level of zoom of the map in accordance with the first user interaction;
• determining a first position of the map in accordance with the first user interaction;
• identifying a plurality of ranked candidate destinations based on the identified origin location;
• selecting a first set of destinations from the ranked candidate destinations for inclusion in the map based on the first level of zoom of the map and the first position of the map;
• determining each destination in the first set of destinations for which a destination location indicator would be obscured in the map by a destination location indicator of a higher ranked destination;
• deselecting, to form a revised first set of destinations, each destination for which a destination location indicator has been determined to be obscured in the map by a destination location indicator of a higher ranked destination;
• and
• transmitting, to the client device, for display in the map, instructions to display destination location indicator for each destination in the revised first set of destinations.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable storage device having computer-executable program instructions embodied thereon that when executed by a computer cause the computer to render graphical user interfaces comprising potentially obscured features in response to receiving a first user interaction with a map of a client computing device, the instructions comprising:
• instructions to identify an origin location;
• instructions to determine a first level of zoom of the map in accordance with the first user interaction;
• instructions to determine a first position of the map in accordance with the first user interaction;
• instructions to identify a plurality of ranked candidate destinations based on the identified origin location;
• instructions to select a first set of destinations from the ranked candidate destinations for inclusion in the map based on the first level of zoom of the map and the first position of the map;
• instructions to determine each destination in the first set of destinations for which a destination location indicator would be obscured in the map by a destination location indicator of a higher ranked destination;
• instructions to deselect, to form a revised first set of destinations, each destination for which a destination location indicator has been determined to be obscured in the map by a destination location indicator of a higher ranked destination;
• and
• instructions to transmit, to the client device, for display in the map, instructions to display the destination location indicator for each destination in the revised first set of destinations.
