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:
- presenting a first graphical element representing a transit feature on a transit map at a first zoom level, the first graphical element having a nondescript appearance;
- receiving a zoom input for transitioning the transit map to a second zoom level;
- determining that the zoom input causes a zoom level of the transit map to cross a zoom level threshold;
- and
- in response to the determination, replacing the first graphical element with a second graphical element representing the transit feature at the second zoom level, the second graphical element having a second appearance representing a transit authority for the transit feature.
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:
- presenting a first graphical element representing a transit feature on a transit map at a first zoom level, the first graphical element having a nondescript appearance;
- receiving a zoom input for transitioning the transit map to a second zoom level;
- determining that the zoom input causes a zoom level of the transit map to cross a zoom level threshold;
- and
- in response to the determination, replacing the first graphical element with a second graphical element representing the transit feature at the second zoom level, the second graphical element having a second appearance representing a transit authority for the transit feature.
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:
- presenting a first graphical element representing a transit feature on a transit map at a first zoom level, the first graphical element having a nondescript appearance;
- receiving a zoom input for transitioning the transit map to a second zoom level;
- determining that the zoom input causes a zoom level of the transit map to cross a zoom level threshold;
- and
- in response to the determination, replacing the first graphical element with a second graphical element representing the transit feature at the second zoom level, the second graphical element having a second appearance representing a transit authority for the transit feature.
