Abstract: A system, method and communication device are disclosed for organizing and presenting a plurality of digital flyers. Using flyer stack information, which organizes the plurality of digital flyers into at least one flyer stack, the plurality of digital flyers are presented to allow for inter-flyer and intra-flyer navigation. Moreover, the flyer stack information may be used to allow the inter-flyer and intra-flyer content to be searched. This is achieved by providing a method and communication device that receives the flyer stack information from a server, and presents the flyer stack information in a flyer navigation interface. The flyer navigation interface displays the at least one flyer stack, selects the flyer stack from the at least one flyer stack, and displays a digital flyer from the selected flyer stack in the flyer navigation interface as a current digital flyer, including displaying an indication of a next digital flyer in the selected flyer stack, the next digital flyer being accessible by navigating to the indication.

Abstract: Described is a technology by which a more optimal map view with respect to route information is returned in response to an online mapping request. A start or end location is positioned away from the map center as appropriate to show as much route information as possible within the map view, given view size and zoom constraints. In one example, various-sized bounding boxes that contain the start or end location and one or more routes may be evaluated to determine a largest bounding box that meets the mapping size constraint; the center of that bounding box is the center of the map view. In one alternative, map views at various zoom levels may be scored against one another to determine which map view contains the most important route information, such as the most maneuver points and/or landmarks within each map view; the map view with the best score is returned.

Abstract: The automatic generation of multiple sets of directions for navigating geographically to a specific destination without specification of an origin. Based on the destination, candidate roads or other transportation conduits are selected for analysis. Candidate meta-departure points are analyzed and selected along the roads based on distribution about the destination, cardinal directions relative to the destination, road metadata, distance to the destination, driving time, and other factors. The number of departure points generated to represent routes to the destination from the several logical cardinal directions is minimized. The generated departure points also represent routes that a majority of people would likely take to the destination. Additionally, the generated departure points originate from places that users are likely to be familiar with and can get to without additional guidance. The final instruction sets for navigating to the destination are presented along with a map that identified the departure points.

Abstract: A unique routing system and method that facilitates adjusting waypoint locations to optimize a cost function and presenting more relevant contextual advertisements based in part on the waypoint locations. The system and method involve examining waypoint locations including a start, end, and any in-between waypoint to determine whether they are reachable or routable according to the preferred mode of transportation. Adjustments can be made to one or more of the waypoint locations in order to accommodate this mode of transportation in view of a given cost function. Adjustments can be made that optimize the cost function to minimize overall costs. Multi-modal routing can be initiated as well to configure a route using the selected or adjusted waypoints and multiple modes of transportation in order to optimize the cost function. Adjustments and the selection of contextual advertisements can be based on user intention and several other route related factors.

Abstract: Providing machine-generated travel directions with customized augmentations to enhance the navigation process. To provide machine-generated travel directions, a user submitted starting location, destination location, and meta-data associated with the user is used to generate a route between the starting location and destination location Annotations to the route are derived based on the meta-data associated with the user or characteristics associated with the route. The annotations are then ranked according to a determined priority. The route generated between the starting location and the destination location, and augmented with the ranked annotations, is displayed to the user.

Abstract: A unique map generation system and method are provide that facilitates automatically detecting a user's (or user's device's) current location and generating at least one customized map view of a static location based on the current (dynamic) location of the user. Many portable and handheld devices have very small user interfaces and limited means of entering alphanumeric information. Network-based content such as web pages offer generic map views of a location of the content but without consideration of the user's location. Traditional systems require entry of the relevant data (e.g., address information) in order to obtain or generate a map view or directions. However, in the subject system, the user's location can be automatically detected and “entered” and a customized map view for this current location in relation to the content's location can be created—thus with minimal user input or action.
