Abstract
The present invention provides methods and apparatus for presenting one or more continuums of image data to a user. Typically, the continuum of image data will be presented via a graphical user interface. Portions of the continuum of image data can be correlated with geospatial data to indicate a particular location. In addition, a continuum of image data can be correlated with other images, such as an aerial view of a geographic area.

A method of presenting a continuum of two-dimensional image data, the method comprising:
- generating a continuum of two-dimensional image data comprising a plurality of portions of image data sets, wherein each image data set is captured from a disparate point on a continuum and the portions are aligned in a dimension consistent with the continuum;
- associating at least one segment of the continuum of two-dimensional image data with positional data descriptive of a location of the image data sets comprising the segment;
- and
- presenting the at least one segment of the continuum of two-dimensional image data with the positional data in a human readable interface.

A method of presenting image data of a geographic area, the method comprising:
- receiving a geospatial designation descriptive of the geographic area;
- associating a portion of a continuum of two-dimensional image data with the geospatial designation, wherein the continuum of two-dimensional image data comprises a plurality of portions of image data sets, wherein each image data set is captured from a disparate point on a continuum and the portions are aligned in a dimension consistent with the continuum;
- and
- transmitting the portion of the continuum of two-dimensional image data comprising the geographic area.
