Abstract
A navigation interface is embedded in imagery and includes various controls for manipulating the imagery. The controls provide various navigation operations, including but not limited to: rotation, tilt, zoom and 360 degree. In some implementations, one or more controls can be operated to restore the imagery to a predetermined state. Some implementations include a control for providing 360 degree movement of imagery. One or more controls can provide incremental and continuous motion of imagery.
Claims17
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- presenting a user interface on a display device, the user interface including a display area for presenting imagery, the imagery showing a first map view of a geographic area;
- providing a navigation control overlaying the imagery;
- receiving a user input directed to a pre-determined portion of the navigation control;
- and
- in response to the user input, continuously reorienting the imagery in the display area such that the imagery shows a second, different map view of the geographic area.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- presenting a user interface on a display device, the user interface including a display area for presenting imagery, the imagery showing a first map view of a geographic area;
- providing a direction indicator overlaying the imagery, the direction indicator indicates a predetermined compass direction associated with the imagery;
- receiving a user input directed to the direction indicator;
- and
- in response to the user input, reoriented the imagery and the direction indicator synchronously in the display area such that the imagery shows a second map view of the geographic area and that the direction indicator indicates the predetermined compass direction associated with the imagery.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the operations of:
- presenting a user interface on a display device, the user interface including a display area for presenting imagery, the imagery showing a first map view of a geographic area;
- providing a navigation control overlaying the imagery;
- receiving a user input directed to a pre-determined portion of the navigation control;
- and
- in response to the user input, continuously reorienting the imagery in the display area such that the imagery shows a second, different map view of the geographic area.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the operations of:
- presenting a user interface on a display device, the user interface including a display area for presenting imagery, the imagery showing a first map view of a geographic area;
- providing a direction indicator overlaying the imagery, the direction indicator indicates a predetermined compass direction associated with the imagery;
- receiving a user input directed to the direction indicator;
- and
- in response to the user input, reoriented the imagery and the direction indicator synchronously in the display area such that the imagery shows a second map view of the geographic area and that the direction indicator indicates the predetermined compass direction associated with the imagery.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory coupled to the one or more processors and operable for storing instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations, comprising:
- presenting a user interface on a display device, the user interface including a display area for presenting imagery, the imagery showing a first map view of a geographic area;
- providing a navigation control overlaying the imagery;
- receiving a user input directed to a pre-determined portion of the navigation control;
- and
- in response to the user input, continuously reorienting the imagery in the display area such that the imagery shows a second, different map view of the geographic area.
