Claim:
1. A method for providing a superview of a geospatial arrangement, the method comprising: receiving an indication of a) at least one unit, and b) filtering criteria for filtering subunits of the at least one unit, wherein the unit and subunits are defined based on a physical location; saving the indications of the at least one unit and the filtering criteria as a superview configuration; marshalling data associated with the at least one unit from a remote storage device; unmarshalling the marshalled data and storing resulting data onto a local memory of a computing device, wherein the resulting data comprises a record for each subunit represented in the marshalled data; and with a processor of the computing device, filtering the resulting data based on the filtering criteria to identify a current subset of the subunits of the at least one unit, wherein the filtering comprises: (a) saving an inclusion indicator on the computing device in association with each of the records, wherein each of the inclusion indicators is initially set to false; (b) processing each of the records to determine whether a particular record satisfies the filtering criteria and is associated with the at least one unit; (c) if the particular record satisfies the filtering criteria, changing the inclusion indicator of the particular record to true; and (d) identifying the current subset of subunits based on the inclusion indicators of the respective records, and wherein the method further comprises causing display of a graphical superview, wherein the graphical superview comprises a visual representation of the current subset of subunits.
