Abstract: An application programming interface (API) for automatically providing digital maps to third-party software applications is provided. The API is configured to (i) receive a string of alphanumeric characters from a third-party software application that executes independently of a map service, (ii) automatically determine whether the string is consistent with one or more indications of geographic locations, (iii) when the string is consistent with an indication of a geographic location, determine whether a digital map of a geographic area including the indicated geographic location should be generated, and (iv) in response to determining that the digital map should be generated, receive the digital from the map service and provide the digital map to the third-party software application for display via a user interface.

Abstract: A mapping API provides a digital map via a user interface of a computing device. When invoked by a software application, the mapping API is configured to receive an identifier of a user operating the software application, provide a first interactive digital map including a representation of a certain geographic area for display by the software application, where the first interactive digital map is personalizable via the software application, receive personalization content from the user via the software application, and cause a second digital map including a representation of the geographic area, when provided to the same user, to be modified in view of the personalization content, where the first digital map and the second digital map are created independently.

Abstract translation: 映射API通过计算设备的用户界面提供数字地图。 当由软件应用程序调用时，映射API被配置为接收操作软件应用程序的用户的标识符，提供第一交互式数字地图，其包括由软件应用程序显示的特定地理区域的表示，其中第一交互式数字 地图可通过软件应用程序个性化，通过软件应用从用户接收个性化内容，并且当提供给同一用户时，引起包括地理区域的表示的第二数字地图，以便根据个性化内容进行修改， 其中独立地创建第一数字地图和第二数字地图。
