Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of managing geographic data layers in a geographic information system for displaying geographic imagery, comprising: initiating, by one or more computing devices, a current geographic information system session; wherein the one or more computing devices comprise one or more processors; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a plurality of geographic data layers for inclusion in a dynamic control list of geographic data layers; determining, by the one or more computing devices, a presentation order for the plurality of geographic data layers in the dynamic control list based at least in part on a layer score associated with each of the plurality of geographic data layers, the presentation order ordering the geographic data layers in the dynamic control list, the layer score indicative of frequency of user interaction with the geographic data layer; and presenting, by the one or more computing devices, a layer control tool in a user interface on a display device, the layer control tool providing a control interface for toggling the display of the plurality of geographic data layers in the dynamic control list, the layer control tool presenting the plurality of geographic data layers in the dynamic control list according to the presentation order.
