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。

Abstract: A digital map of a geographic area is displayed via a user interface, and a 3D representation of a building located in the geographic area is displayed on the digital map. A virtual camera is used to view the digital map, and the location of the virtual camera is changeable in response to user input. The external shell of the 3D representation is made increasingly transparent as a virtual camera approaches the 3D representation of the building to reveal indoor information for the building.

Abstract: An interactive digital map of a geographic area is provided via a viewport that defines a visible portion of the digital map. The digital map includes a representation of a structure. The viewport is panned relative to the digital map in response to receiving a user request. An indication that indoor map data is available for the structure is displayed in response to determining that the viewport is panning, and the indication is removed in response to determining that the viewport has stopped panning.

Abstract: Provided is a process for personalizing an interactive map that includes the following: receiving a user request to view an interactive map; determining a map extent responsive to the request; obtaining a profile of the user; personalizing, with a computer, an interactive map based on the profile; and presenting the personalized map to the user. Personalizing includes determining whether to depict geographic features within the map extent in the personalized map based on the profile, and formatting a depiction of the features to have, for each respective feature, a prominence determined based on the profile.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于个性化交互式地图的过程，其包括以下：接收用户查看交互式地图的请求; 确定响应于该请求的地图范围; 获取用户的配置文件; 使用计算机个性化基于简档的交互式地图; 并向用户呈现个性化地图。 个性化包括基于该简档确定是否描绘个性化地图中的地图范围内的地理特征，以及格式化特征的描绘，以使每个相应的特征具有基于该简档确定的突出性。
