Abstract:
Computer-implemented methods and systems of displaying location entity information associated with the current geographic location of a mobile device include obtaining data indicative of a current geographic location of the mobile device and providing map imagery of a geographic area associated with such current location. A first interface element is provided for display on the map imagery at a location indicative of the current geographic location of the mobile device. A location entity is determined as a best match from a list of nearby location entities and a second interface element providing information about the determined location entity is provided for display on the map imagery. Data indicative of user selection of one or more of the first and second interface elements can be received. Upon selection, a separate display area including information about the determined location entity is automatically provided for display.
