1. A computer-implemented method for displaying geographic imagery, the method comprising: receiving, by one or more computing devices, a request to view a geographic image, the geographic image depicting a portion of a panoramic image of a location within a geographic area; generating, by the one or more computing devices, a modified image including a map displayed within a map area superimposed over at least a portion of the geographic image, the map including travel way data displayed within the map area that is associated with the geographic area, the travel way data including a first line segment corresponding to a first travel way on which the panoramic image is located, the travel way data being normalized such that the first line segment is displayed within the map area as a straight line regardless of any curvature defined by the first travel way, the map area being superimposed over the at least a portion of the geographic image at a fixed position that does not vary as a function of current viewing angle of the panoramic image; and in response to receiving the request to view the geographic image, providing for display, by the one or more computing devices, the modified image.
