Abstract
A map having surfaces that are depicted at different levels that are not related to topography, with boundaries between the surfaces, where the boundaries are disposed at travel ways. The travel ways form cliff faces in the map between the surfaces, with information items disposed on the cliff faces at positions corresponding to items of interest at locations along the travel ways where the information items are disposed.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing program instructions stored on a memory thereon that when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- causing display of a representation of a geographical area comprising a first surface depicted at a non-topographical level of the geographical area and a second surface depicted at a different non-topographical level of the geographical area;
- causing display of a third surface in the geographical area between the first surface and the second surface, wherein the third surface is different from the first surface and the second surface;
- and
- causing display of image data on the third surface that comprises real-time images from a location depicted by at least one of the first surface or the second surface, wherein the image data is received from an imaging device located in proximity to the location.
A method comprising:
- causing display of a representation of a geographical area comprising a first surface depicted at a non-topographical level of the geographical area and a second surface depicted at a different non-topographical level of the geographical area;
- causing display of a representation of a geographical area comprising a first surface depicted at a non-topographical level of the geographical area and a second surface depicted at a different non-topographical level of the geographical area;
- causing display of a third surface in the geographical area between the first surface and the second surface, wherein the third surface is different from the first surface and the second surface;
- and
- causing display of image data on the third surface that comprises real-time images from a location depicted by at least one of the first surface or the second surface, wherein the image data is received from an imaging device located in proximity to the location.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to perform operations comprising:
- causing display of a representation of a geographical area comprising a first surface depicted at a non-topographical level of the geographical area and a second surface depicted at a different non-topographical level of the geographical area;
- causing display of a third surface in the geographical area between the first surface and the second surface, wherein the third surface is different from the first surface and the second surface;
- and
- causing display of image data on the third surface that comprises real-time images from a location depicted by at least one of the first surface or the second surface, wherein the image data is received from an imaging device located in proximity to the location.
