Abstract
A computer-implemented mapping method is disclosed and includes displaying a first map view of a geographic area on a display of a computing device, receiving a voice or key-press zoom command and generating a first zoom box of a predetermined size on the display relative to the first map view in response to the zoom command, and displaying a second map view of a zoomed geographic area corresponding to the zoom box.
Claims20
A computer-implemented mapping method, comprising:
- displaying a first map view of a geographic area on a display of a computing device;
- receiving a voice or key-press zoom command and generating a first zoom box of a predetermined size on the display relative to the first map view in response to the zoom command;
- and
- displaying a second map view of a zoomed geographic area corresponding to the zoom box.
A tangible media carrying instructions that, when executed, perform steps comprising:
- displaying a first map view of a geographic area on a display of a computing device;
- receiving a voice or key-press zoom command and generating a zoom box of a predetermined size on the display relative to the first map view in response to the zoom command;
- and
- displaying a second map view of a zoomed geographic area corresponding to the zoom box.
A mobile computer-implemented mapping system, comprising:
- an interface to receive location information and to provide, in response, corresponding map information;
- map tile storage holding a plurality of tiles for display with the interface;
- and
- means for changing map information displayed by the interface in response to inputs by a user to a mobile device.
