Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving data indicating a base geographic location that was specified by user input at a computing device, the base geographic location being outside of a line-of-view of the computing device; selecting a street-level image of the base geographic location for display by the computing device; receiving data indicating a search query that was entered into the computing device, and data indicating a maximum distance range from the base geographic location; selecting a point of interest (POI) that is referenced by one or more search results that are responsive to the search query, the POI having an associated geographic location that is different from the base geographic location and that is located within the maximum distance range from the base geographic location; and providing, for display by the computing device, the street-level image of the base geographic location and an indication of the POI overlaid on the street-level image of the base geographic location so as to represent a general direction in which the POI is located in the street-level image.
