Abstract
A method may include obtaining location information associated with a device, determining a focal point for a map based on the location information, displaying the focal point on the map, and decreasing a detail or a scale on the map as a radial distance from the focal point increases.
Claims28
A method comprising:
- obtaining location information associated with a device;
- determining a focal point for a map, displayed by a display associated with the device, based on the location information;
- displaying, via the display, the focal point on the map;
- decreasing, via a processor associated with the device, a detail or a scale on the map as a radial distance from the focal point increases;
- determining a field of view for the map based on a velocity of the device;
- adjusting, via the processor, the focal point to a point on the map based on the velocity;
- and
- adjusting, via the processor, the field of view for the map based on the velocity and the adjusted focal point.
