Abstract: Presented are techniques of identifying, processing and displaying data point clusters (850, 851) associated with map information (200) in an efficient manner. Methods and systems are disclosed which process map information (200) to identify clusters (850, 851) of requested data points for display (1020), based on iterative clustering and filtering of the data points. Methods and systems are also disclosed which generate polygons (1860, 1861, 1901-05) representing the clusters. The amount of data to be processed and/or displayed can be reduced, without loss of any associated information content in a displayed map.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions that implement an application programming interface (API) for generating digital maps. When invoked by a software module executing on one or more processors of a client device, the API operates to (i) determine a geographic location to be included in a digital map, where the geographic location is specified by a server device coupled to the client device via a communication network, (ii) select a parameter for a viewport of the digital map based at least on a distance from a current location of the client device to the specified geographic location, (iii) generate the digital map in accordance with the selected parameter, and display the digital map via a user interface of the client device.

Abstract: To provide navigation directions in mapping applications, an indication of a geographic location and an indication of a map viewport that includes the geographic location are received. Several candidate starting points from which people are more likely to access the geographic location than from other locations within the map viewport are identified. A starting point is selected from among the several candidate starting points, and navigation directions for guiding a user of the user device from the starting point toward the geographic location are generated for display on the user device.

Abstract: Graphic elements for a computer-implemented mapping system may be displayed based on scheduled task data, routine data, or other data corresponding to an application of a client computing device. The application data may include a location and a scheduled time. A user may request a map for the scheduled task location. If a difference between the request time and the scheduled task time is below a threshold, then the mapping system may display or modify graphic elements for the location that are relevant to the scheduled task. For example, a user may include appointment data for an airline flight in a calendar application of a mobile computing device. If the user requests a map of the departure airport within a short amount of time before the flight, the map may include only relevant graphic elements such as a check in counter, a security checkpoint, and a departure gate.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure is directed to techniques for outputting, by a computing device and for display, a graphical user interface of an application currently executing at the computing device (582). A presence-sensitive input device detects two gestures (584, 588). The computing device determines whether the first gesture starts within a first target starting area of the presence-sensitive input device and terminates in a first target termination area (586), and whether the second gesture starts in a second target starting area of the presence-sensitive input device and terminates in a second target termination area (590). If the conditions are satisfied, the computing device determines whether an amount of time between termination of the first gesture and initiation of the second gesture satisfies a timeout threshold (592), ceasing the output of the graphical user interface when the timeout threshold is satisfied (594).

Abstract: A digital map of a geographic area is provided via a user interface within a viewport, which defines a viewable portion of the digital map. The viewport is repositioned relative to the digital map in accordance with user commands provided via the user interface. A substantially continuous movement of the viewport in response to a plurality of similar user commands is detected. In response, a geographic place located in a general direction of the continuous movement of the viewport is determined, and a control for directly positioning the viewport over a portion of the digital map representing the geographic place is provided.

Abstract: To dynamically vary map content based on the speed at which a portable device is moving, for a map in which a portable device user is following, a request for map data for a particular location is received along with an indication of the speed of the portable device. As a result, at least two versions of map data for the particular location are identified and one of the versions is selected based on the speed. The selected version is then transmitted to the portable device for display.
