Abstract
A method for querying target information within a card view (15) is disclosed wherein a three-dimensional object (151) is selected on the basis of a user input and data (152) linked thereto is outputted. Preferably, in order to navigate within the card view (15), the gestures of the user are evaluated. The user can then navigate within a card view in a virtual manner and can easily query target information relating to an object.

A method for requesting destination information within a map view shown on a display device, comprising the following steps:
- following a user input, a map view is moved in one direction in order to find data which are linked to a three-dimensional object,
- a displayed, three-dimensional object is selected in the map view on the basis of a user input,
- data linked to the selected object and stored in a database are output, wherein the data relating to the three-dimensional object are retrieved from the Internet, wherein the data retrieved for the object feature a telecommunications address, and wherein selection of the telecommunications address is followed by telecommunications contact being set up to the telecommunications address.
A computer program product which is stored on a storage medium and can be loaded into the main memory of a processor and executes the following steps using the processor:
- following a user input, a map view is moved in one direction in order to find data which are linked to a three-dimensional object,
- a displayed, three-dimensional object is selected in the map view on the basis of a user input,
- data linked to the selected object and stored in a database are output, wherein the data relating to the three-dimensional object are retrieved from the Internet, wherein the data retrieved for the object feature a telecommunications address, and wherein selection of the telecommunications address is followed by telecommunications contact being set up to the telecommunications address.

A method for navigating in a map view reproduced on a display device, comprising the following steps:
- a user's gestures are recorded and evaluated,
- the map view is moved in the direction in which the user is pointing, wherein defined space zones correspond to particular directions of movement of the map view.
A method for navigating in a map view reproduced on a display device, comprising the following steps:
- a user's gestures are recorded and evaluated,
- the map view is moved in the direction in which the user is pointing, wherein the speed at which the map view is moved is dependent on the speed with which the gesture is made.
A method for requesting destination information within a map view shown on a display device, comprising the following steps:
- following a user input, a map view is moved in one direction in order to find data which are linked to a three-dimensional object,
- a displayed, three-dimensional object is selected in the map view on the basis of a user input,
- data linked to the selected object and stored in a database are output, wherein the three-dimensional object is a building, and wherein an interior view of the building is output, wherein the data retrieved for the object feature a telecommunications address, and wherein selection of the telecommunications address is followed by telecommunications contact being set up to the telecommunications address.
