Automatic selection of map detail levels

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer program instructions for providing route guidance on a client device providing a transport service, the computer program instructions, when executed by one or more processors, causing the one or more processors to:

• receive, from a processor of the client device, a request to provide the transport service, the request comprising a route for the transport service;
• display, on the client device, a first portion of the route for the transport service using a first set of digital map tiles rendered at a first level of detail;
• in response to receiving a request for a greater level of detail for the route:
• request, by the processor of the client device, a second set of digital map tiles, each tile in the second set including a second portion of the route rendered at a second level of detail higher than the first level of detail;
• determine a complexity score for a third portion of the route quantifying a navigational complexity of the route along the third portion;
• and
• responsive to the complexity score being above a threshold, request, by the processor of the client device, a third set of digital map tiles, each tile in the third set including a third portion of the route rendered at the second level of detail;
• and
• display, simultaneously on the client device, the route and at least some of the digital map tiles of the first set, at least some of the digital map tiles of the second set, and at least some of the digital map tiles of the third set.
