The secondary map can provide the user with either a zoomed out or in relative to the main map, or a different type of map view (e.g., satellite images). The secondary map can be turned on and off by the user. The secondary map may include one or more viewing frames that indicate views (e.g., current and alternate views) of the main map. The user can move the main map, viewing frame, or secondary map to achieve desired map views. During such movement, the relationship between the main and secondary maps can be synchronous, partially synchronous, or serial.
upon user release of the secondary map, moving the main map and the viewing frame to show a view framed by the alternate position viewing frame. ����
RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/051,534, filed Feb. 5, 2005 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,158,878, titled ��A Digital Mapping System��, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 60/567,946, filed May 3, 2004, and 60/555,501, filed Mar. 23, 2004. In addition, this application is related to U.S. application Ser. No. 11/088,542, filed Mar. 23, 2005, titled ��Generating and Serving Tiles in a Digital Mapping System��. Each of these applications is herein incorporated in its entirety by reference.
Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for moving a secondary map and a main map of a digital mapping system. This example method is as follows. In response to a user moving a main map, the method includes moving a secondary map associated with the main map. In response to the user moving a viewing frame on the secondary map, the method includes moving the main map based on movement of the viewing frame. In response to the user moving the secondary map, the method includes moving the main map based on movement of the secondary map. In one particular case, the zoom level of the secondary map can be adjusted independently of main map zoom level. In one such configuration, zooming of the secondary map can optionally be synchronized with zooming of the main map, if so desired. In another particular case, the digital mapping system includes a client-side that requests map data from a server-side, and the method is carried out on the client-side. At least two of the viewing frame, secondary map, and main map can be programmed or otherwise configured to move in a synchronous relationship, in response to user input. Alternatively, or in addition to, at least two of the viewing frame, secondary map, and main map can be configured to move in a serial relationship, in response to user input. Parameters of the secondary map may be configurable by a user. For example, configurable parameters of the secondary map may include zoom level, synchronization with main map movement, and/or map type (e.g., which allows the user to configure the secondary map to include satellite images). The secondary map can be configured to be resizable (e.g., user can create personal ��default�� size secondary map that is used when secondary map is enabled). In response to the user moving the main map, the method may include holding the viewing frame in place as a view of the secondary map framed by the viewing frame changes. In response to the user moving the viewing frame, the method may include holding the secondary map in place as the viewing frame moves over it. In one such case, upon user release of the viewing frame, the method further includes moving the secondary map to center the released viewing frame. In response to the user moving the secondary map, the method may include holding the viewing frame in place as a view of the secondary map framed by the viewing frame changes. In response to the user moving the main map, the method may include holding the secondary map and an alternate position viewing frame in place as the main map and the viewing frame move, and upon user release of the main map, moving the secondary map to center the viewing frame. In response to the user moving an alternate position viewing frame, the method may include holding the main map, the secondary map, and the viewing frame in place. In one such case, upon user release of the alternate position viewing frame, the method further includes moving the main map to show a view framed by the alternate position viewing frame, moving the viewing frame to show the view framed by the alternate position viewing frame, and moving the secondary map to center the alternate position viewing frame and the viewing frame. In another such case, upon user release of the alternate position viewing frame, the method further includes moving the main and secondary maps in sync, so the main map shows a view framed by the alternate position viewing frame and the alternate position viewing frame is centered in the secondary map. In response to the user moving the secondary map, the method may include holding the main map and an alternate position viewing frame in place, and upon user release of the secondary map, moving the main map and the viewing frame to show a view framed by the alternate position viewing frame.
The requested digital map has a number of map features, including directional map control objects 115, zoom control objects 110, a location marker 125 (to highlight the requested address), a map scale 140, and map/satellite/hybrid mode select controls 145. Note in this example that a traditional drawn map is indicated with ��Map�� while satellite and hybrid maps are indicated with ��Satellite�� and ��Hybrid�� respectively. Example such features and functionality of the map, as well as others (e.g., information windows and high resolution printing) are discussed in detail in the previously incorporated U.S. application Ser. Nos. 11/051,534 and 11/088,542, which describe tile-based mapping systems. Note, however, a secondary map configured in accordance with the principles of the present invention can also be used with other mapping systems, such as vector-based and raster-based mapping systems, and are not intended to be limited to tile-based systems.
In the case where the area shown by the secondary map 155 is equal to or smaller than the area shown by the main map 135, then there are no viewing frames 160/165. In such a situation, if the user zooms the secondary map to include an area that is larger than the main map 135, then the viewing frames 160/165 can be provided as described herein. In one particular embodiment, when the user hovers (with the cursor 210) over the viewing frames 160/165, a tool tip appears, indicating, for instance, ��Drag viewing frame to move main map.�� In an alternative embodiment, if the area shown by the secondary map 155 becomes equal to or smaller than the area shown by the main map 135, then the viewing frames 160/165 can be provided on the main map instead, where they will function just as they do on the secondary map. In such a situation, if the user zooms the secondary map to include an area that is larger than the main map 135, then the viewing frames 160/165 can be switched back from the main map to the secondary map.
A number of user interface options are available. For example, if the user clicks the secondary map configure button 205, a secondary map configure menu 215 opens or otherwise appears (as shown in FIG. 2 b). In one particular embodiment, when the user hovers (with the cursor 210) over the secondary map configure button 205, a tool tip appears, indicating, for instance, ��Click for secondary map configuration.�� In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 b, configuration options for the secondary map 155 include a synchronize zoom feature, a zoom control feature, and a map type feature. Other configurable features can be used here as well, and the present invention is not intended to be limited to any one embodiment. For instance, the configuration options can be programmed or otherwise configured to allow the user to select the movement mode (e.g., synchronized, partially synchronized, or serial). Also, the user can disable synchronization so that one map can be explored without impacting the other map. In such a case, the configuration options would include, for instance, an ��independent map movement�� option or the like. Once this option was disabled by the user, the maps would then sync up so that both maps displayed the area of interest identified by the user on the independently used map.
If the user selects the N or ��No�� button of the synchronize zoom feature (or otherwise disables the synchronize zoom feature), then the zoom level of the main map 135 can be adjusted independently of the zoom level of the secondary map 155. If the user selects the Y or ��Yes�� button to enable the synchronize zoom feature, then the zoom level of the main map 135 is synchronized to the zoom level of the secondary map 155. Thus, an increase of three zoom levels of the main map 135 will cause an increase of three zoom levels of the secondary map 155 (if possible). Likewise, a decrease of two zoom levels of the secondary map 155 will cause a decrease of two zoom levels of the main map 135. Also, as previously explained, the relative zoom level difference can be stored and maintained when synchronized zoom is enabled, even after a period where the relative zoom level difference is compressed due to limitation associated with a max or min zoom level.
The zoom control feature allows the user to adjust the zoom level of the secondary map 155, if so desired. In this example, each time the user selects the ��+�� control button, the zoom level of the secondary map 155 increases by one (until the max zoom level is achieved). Likewise, each time the user selects the ��−�� control button, the zoom level of the secondary map 155 decreases by one (until the min zoom level is achieved). Recall that the zoom control of the secondary map 155 can be manipulated without impacting the zoom level of the main map 135, thereby allowing the user to zoom in for a desired level of detail using the secondary map 155. The map type feature allows the user to select the type of map that is presented in the secondary map 155. In this example embodiment, the map type can either be a traditional map (by selecting the M button) or satellite image (by selecting the S button). Other embodiments may include an H button, for a hybrid map type that includes a satellite image with overlaid traditional map graphics to enhance user's visual experience. Thus, the main map 135 can be at one zoom level and displaying one map type (e.g., traditional map of San Francisco), while the secondary map 155 can be at another zoom level (higher or lower than that main map zoom level) and displaying another map type (e.g., detailed satellite image of Cole Valley within San Francisco).
If the user clicks the X button of the secondary map configure menu 215 (in the lower left corner), the menu 215 will close and is replaced by the secondary map configure button 205. In an alternative embodiment, zoom control can be drawn directly on the secondary map 155 (e.g., with ��+�� and ��−�� zoom control objects in the upper left corner of the secondary map 155), so that accessing the configuration menu 215 is not necessary. Likewise, the map type can be drawn directly on the secondary map 155 (e.g., with ��Map�� pull-down menu control object (e.g., with choices of traditional, satellite, and hybrid) in the upper right corner of the secondary map 155), so that accessing the configuration menu 215 is not necessary. One such embodiment is shown in FIG. 2 c. Numerous control object and menu schemes can be used here to facilitate the user's use of the secondary map 155.
