Abstract
A method of providing augmented Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation can include detecting movement of a GPS enabled mobile device along a navigational route and displaying a photographic image on a display of the GPS enabled mobile device responsive to detecting movement of the GPS enabled mobile device along the navigational route provided by the GPS enabled mobile device. Related devices and computer program products are also disclosed.
Claims17
A tangible computer-readable storage medium having executable instructions stored thereon, the executable instructions, when executed by a processor, perform operations comprising:
- responsive to determining that a mobile device is within proximity to subjects of waypoints along a navigational route of the mobile device:
- searching, using search parameters provided by the mobile device, a database of photographic images of views of subjects of waypoints determined to be within proximity of the navigational route of the mobile device;
- and
- selecting ones of found photographic images for display on the mobile device;
- and
- displaying a photographic image of the ones of found photographic images on a display of the mobile device responsive to movement of the mobile device along a navigational route, the displayed photographic image having a navigational route point-of-view perspective as seen by a user of the mobile device while traveling the navigational route, wherein at least one of the found photographic images comprises a detour waypoint along the navigational route offered for selection prior to leaving the navigational route.
A tangible computer-readable storage medium having executable instructions stored thereon, the executable instructions, when executed by a processor, perform operations comprising:
- displaying a photographic image on a display of a global positioning system enabled mobile device responsive to movement of the global positioning system enabled mobile device along a navigational route provided by the global positioning system enabled mobile device, wherein displaying comprises:
- selectively including the photographic image on the display responsive to determining proximity of the global positioning system enabled mobile device to a waypoint associated with the navigational route, the photographic image having a navigational route point-of-view perspective as seen by a user of the global positioning system enabled mobile device while traveling the navigational route on a surface.
A method comprising:
- displaying a photographic image on a display of a mobile device responsive to movement of the mobile device along a navigational route provided by the mobile device, displaying comprising selectively including the photographic image on the display responsive to determining proximity of the mobile device to the navigational route, the photographic image having a navigational route point-of-view perspective as seen by a user of the mobile device while traveling the navigational route on a surface.
