Abstract
Embodiments provide systems and methods for generating a street map that includes a position identifier that identifies a location on the street map. The method and system may also generate and display a plurality of images representative of the location of the position identifier. A user may interact with a position identifier or one of several scroll icons to view images of other locations on the street map and/or to obtain driving directions between two locations.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory including instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the system to:
- determine geographical coordinates of a physical location of a computing device;
- determine a business located at the geographical coordinates based in part on a correlation of a business database and associated location information;
- provide the computing device with an input option to provide an image of the physical location;
- receive the image of the physical location;
- relate the image to one or more of the geographical coordinates and the physical location;
- and
- index the image for display when a search associated with the physical location is performed.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- determining geographical coordinates of a physical location of a computing device;
- determining a business located at the geographical coordinates based in part on a correlation of a business database and associated location information;
- receiving an image of the physical location based in part on an input from the computing device;
- relating the image to one or more of the geographical coordinates and the physical location;
- and
- indexing the image for display when a search associated with the physical location is performed.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions executable by at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- determining geographical coordinates of a physical location of a computing device;
- determining a business located at the geographical coordinates based in part on a correlation of a business database and associated location information;
- receiving an image of the physical location based in part on an input from the computing device;
- relating the image to one or more of the geographical coordinates and the physical location;
- and
- indexing the image for display when a search associated with the physical location is performed.
