Abstract
Some embodiments provide a mapping application that displays a transit map including a group of transit lines. The mapping application receives a request to display a transit route in the transit map. The mapping application also, in response to the received request, displays the transit route by modifying portions of transit lines along the route to emphasize the portions of the transit lines while modifying other transit lines not along the route to de-emphasize the transit lines not along the route.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a mapping application, road data for a plurality of roads to be presented on a map presentation of the mapping application;
- determining that a stop location for a transit stop along a transit line overlaps with a first road of the plurality of roads;
- identifying a label placement location on the first road at a first distance from the stop location;
- and
- presenting a road label at the label placement location on the first road.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing a mapping application for execution by at least one processing unit of a mobile device, the mapping application comprising sets of instructions for:
- receiving, by a mapping application, road data for a plurality of roads to be presented on a map presentation of the mapping application;
- determining that a stop location for a transit stop along a transit line overlaps with a first road of the plurality of roads;
- identifying a label placement location on the first road at a first distance from the stop location;
- and
- presenting a road label at the label placement location on the first road.
An electronic device comprising:
- a set of processing units for executing sets of instructions;
- and
- a non-transitory machine readable medium storing a map application executable by at least one of the processing units of the device, the application comprising sets of instructions for:
- receiving, by a mapping application, road data for a plurality of roads to be presented on a map presentation of the mapping application;
- determining that a stop location for a transit stop along a transit line overlaps with a first road of the plurality of roads;
- identifying a label placement location on the first road at a first distance from the stop location;
- and
- presenting a road label at the label placement location on the first road.
