Claim One:
1. A method for reducing processor, storage or bandwidth utilization through the presentation of a map interface, the method comprising: physically generating, on a physical display device communicationally coupled to a computing device, a first map interface comprising: a map canvas; a travel route visually illustrated on the map canvas; and multiple inspection markers visually illustrated on the map canvas proximate to the travel route, wherein each of the multiple inspection markers correspond to physical locations from which imagery that depicts other physical locations, that are geographically located along the travel route, was obtained; receiving, at the computing device, a user input selecting first inspection marker, from among the multiple inspection markers; identifying, by the computing device, in response to the user input, a second inspection marker differing from the first inspection marker, the second inspection marker corresponding to a second physical location from which a first imagery, that depicts a first physical location represented by the first inspection marker, was obtained; and physically generating, on the physical display device, a second map interface representing an update to the first map interface in response to the user input, the second map interface comprising: the map canvas; the travel route; a route inspection portal visually overlaid over a portion of the map canvas such that the portion of the map canvas that is visually overlaid by the route inspection portal is, visually, wholly surrounded by the map canvas; and the first imagery, obtained from the second physical location to which the second inspection marker corresponds, depicting the first physical location represented by the first inspection marker, the first imagery being, visually displayed, on the physical display device, wholly within the route inspection portal.
