Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: displaying, by one or more computing devices, in a first frame of a web page, information from a mapping application served by a mapping server domain, wherein the mapping server domain is publicly-accessible by programs that make calls to the mapping server domain; displaying, by the one or more computing devices, in a second frame of the web page, content provided by one or more applications that are served from an organization separate from an organization that serves the mapping application, and served from a domain that is different than the mapping server domain; receiving, by the one or more computing devices, user input in the first frame of the web page that indicates geographically-related features and determining, using the user input, a correlation between the content displayed in the second frame of the web page and the information displayed in the first frame of the web page, wherein the correlation comprises matching one or more of the geographically-related features with particular locations available on a map generated by the mapping application and obtaining one or more sets of coordinates that pertain to the particular locations; and responsive to receiving the user input and determining the correlation between the content displayed in the second frame of the web page and the information displayed in the first frame of the web page, generating, by the one or more computing devices, a display of annotations that are overlaid on the map generated by the mapping application at respective coordinates for the particular locations, and that supplement the map generated by the mapping application with content that is determined to correspond to the geographically-related features, wherein the geographically-related features are communicated between the domain that serves the one or more applications and the mapping server domain across frames within the web page.
