Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described for representing points of interest relative to a user-defined geographic area in a map interface. Representation of the geographic area and a plurality of point-of-interest (POI) locations corresponding to the points of interest is facilitated in the map interface using a color scheme in which variations in color represent variations in density of the POI locations within the geographic area.
Claims27
A computer-implemented method for representing points of interest relative to a user-defined geographic area in a map interface, comprising facilitating representation of the geographic area and a plurality of point-of-interest (POI) locations corresponding to the points of interest in the map interface using a color scheme in which variations in color represent variations in density of the POI locations within the geographic area.
(canceled)
A computer program product for representing points of interest relative to a user-defined geographic area in a map interface, the computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable medium having computer program instructions stored therein which, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to facilitate representation of the geographic area and a plurality of point-of interest (POI) locations corresponding to the points of interest in the map interface using a color scheme in which variations in color represent variations in density of the POI locations within the geographic area.
(canceled)
A computing device configured to represent points of interest relative to a user-defined geographic area, the computing device comprising a display and at least one processor configured to facilitate representation of the geographic area and a plurality of point-of-interest (POI) locations corresponding to the points of interest in a map interface on the display using a color scheme in which variations in color represent variations in density of the POI locations within the geographic area.
