A nonlinear route for traveling from a source to a destination is determined. The route includes a sequence of (i) route segments and (ii) intermediate geographic locations defining endpoints of the route segments. A linear visual representation of the route on a titled plane to a create a three-dimensional perspective is generated and displayed via a user interface of a computing device. Indicators of the intermediate geographic locations are positioned along the linear visual representation of the route, interactive controls for retrieving additional information related to the intermediate geographic locations are provided, and the linear representation of the route is displayed via a user interface of a computing device.
