1. A method for generating semantic image navigation experiences, the method comprising: selecting, by one or more computing devices, a first geographic entity of a plurality of distinct geographic entities; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a plurality of distinct geographic sub-entities, each distinct geographic sub-entity having a geographic containment relationship with the first geographic entity, the plurality of distinct geographic sub-entities including: filtering, by the one or more computing devices, the plurality of distinct geographic sub-entities to remove at least one distinct geographic sub-entity that is not at least one of (i) visually represented by at least one landmark and (ii) associated with a pre-stored navigation experience of the plurality of pre-stored navigation experiences that is unique to the at least one distinct geographic sub-entity, the at least one distinct geographic sub-entity including the second geographic sub-entity; determining, by the one or more computing devices, a ranking order of the filtered plurality of distinct geographic sub-entities based at least in part on one or more characteristics of each distinct geographic sub-entity in the filtered plurality of distinct geographic sub-entities; selecting, by one or more computing devices, a subset of at least two distinct geographic sub-entities based on the ranking order; and generating, by the one or more computing devices, a semantic image navigation experience for the first geographic entity based on at least the pre-stored navigation experiences associated with the subset of at least two distinct geographic sub-entities by:
