Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system 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.
Claims21
A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that direct a computing system to:
- display a position identifier at a location on a street map;
- display around the position identifier, a first scroll icon and a second scroll icon, wherein the first scroll icon and the second scroll icon are oriented in a parallel direction with a street on the street map;
- display an image representative of the location;
- display a plurality of secondary images in a filmstrip-type view, wherein the plurality of images are representative of an area surrounding the location in directions of the first scroll icon and second scroll icon;
- and
- display at ends of the filmstrip-type view a third scroll icon and a fourth scroll icon, wherein the first scroll icon and the third scroll icon are directionally correlated.
A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that direct a computing system to:
- display at a location on a street map, a position identifier having a first scroll and a second scroll icon, the first scroll icon and the second scroll icon being oriented in a parallel direction with a street on the street map and enabling the position identifier to be moved along the street;
- and
- display a plurality of images representative of a street-level view of the location, the plurality of images being updatable upon movement of the position identifier to represent an updated street-level view of the location.
