     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The disclosed embodiments relate generally to devices with touch screen displays, and more particularly, to devices with touch screen displays that provide maps and directions. 
     BACKGROUND 
     As portable electronic devices become more compact, and the number of functions performed by a given device increase, it has become a significant challenge to design a user interface that allows users to easily interact with a multifunction device. This challenge is particular significant for handheld portable devices, which have much smaller screens than desktop or laptop computers. This situation is unfortunate because the user interface is the gateway through which users receive not only content but also responses to user actions or behaviors, including user attempts to access a device&#39;s features, tools, and functions. Some portable communication devices (e.g., mobile telephones, sometimes called mobile phones, cell phones, cellular telephones, and the like) have resorted to adding more pushbuttons, increasing the density of push buttons, overloading the functions of pushbuttons, or using complex menu systems to allow a user to access, store and manipulate data. These conventional user interfaces often result in complicated key sequences and menu hierarchies that must be memorized by the user. 
     Many conventional user interfaces, such as those that include physical pushbuttons, are also inflexible. This is unfortunate because it may prevent a user interface from being configured and/or adapted by either an application running on the portable device or by users. When coupled with the time consuming requirement to memorize multiple key sequences and menu hierarchies, and the difficulty in activating a desired pushbutton, such inflexibility is frustrating to most users. 
     For example, mapping applications are available for mobile phones (e.g., Google maps for mobile, available at www.google.com/gmm). But navigating in such applications using physical push buttons (e.g., the number keys on a hard keyboard) or touch screens in existing mobile phones is cumbersome for most users. Thus, at present, relatively few people use mapping applications in mobile phones and other portable devices. 
     Accordingly, there is a need for devices with touch screen displays that have more transparent and intuitive user interfaces for providing maps, directions, and location-based information. Such interfaces increase the effectiveness, efficiency and user satisfaction with such devices. 
     SUMMARY 
     The above deficiencies and other problems associated with user interfaces for devices with touch screen displays are reduced or eliminated by the disclosed multifunction device. In some embodiments, the device is portable. In some embodiments, the device has a touch-sensitive display (also known as a “touch screen”) with a graphical user interface (GUI), one or more processors, memory and one or more modules, programs or sets of instructions stored in the memory for performing multiple functions. In some embodiments, the user interacts with the GUI primarily through finger contacts and gestures on the touch-sensitive display. In some embodiments, the functions may include providing maps and directions, telephoning, video conferencing, e-mailing, instant messaging, blogging, digital photographing, digital videoing, web browsing, digital music playing, and/or digital video playing. Instructions for performing these functions may be included in a computer readable storage medium or other computer program product configured for execution by one or more processors. 
     In accordance with some embodiments, a device having a touch screen display is configured to display a map application, which is configured to separately display a list of bookmarked locations, a list of recent queries by a user, and a list of contacts for the user. In response to detecting a finger gesture on an input icon associated with a search term input area, the map application displays at least one of the list of bookmarked locations, the list of recent queries by a user, and the list of contacts for the user. In response to detecting a finger gesture on a bookmarked location in the list of bookmarked locations, an area corresponding to the bookmarked location is displayed on a digital map. In response to detecting a finger gesture on a recent query in the list of recent queries by the user, one or more results corresponding to the recent query are displayed on a digital map. And in response to detecting a finger gesture on a contact in the list of contacts, an area associated with the contact is displayed on a digital map. 
     In accordance with some embodiments, a device having a touch screen display is configured to display a map application. The map application is configured to simultaneously display a bookmark list display icon, a recent query list display icon, and a contact list display icon, and is also configured to separately display a list of bookmarked locations, a list of recent queries by a user, and a list of contacts for the user. In response to detecting a finger gesture on the bookmark list display icon, the map application displays the list of bookmarked locations. In response to detecting a finger gesture on a bookmarked location in the list of bookmarked locations, the map application displays an area corresponding to the bookmarked location on a digital map. In response to detecting a finger gesture on the recent query list display icon, the map application displays the list of recent queries by the user. And in response to detecting a finger gesture on a recent query in the list of recent queries by the user, the map application displays one or more results corresponding to the recent query on a digital map. 
     In accordance with some embodiments, a computing device having a touch screen display is configured to operate as follows. In response to detecting a finger gesture on a route search initiation icon, the device sends a first location and a second location to a remote computer, receives routing information between the first location and the second location, and displays at least some of the routing information between the first location and the second location on a digital map. In response to detecting a finger gesture on a list icon, the device displays an itemized list of the routing information, and in response to detecting a finger gesture on a particular item in the itemized list of the routing information, the device shows a corresponding portion of routing information on the digital map. 
     In accordance with some embodiments, a computer-implemented method is performed at a computing device with a touch screen display. In the method, a map application is displayed. The map application is configured to display a map. A first finger gesture on an icon for adding a user-moveable location marker to the map is detected.

     The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the description of the invention and the appended claims, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term “and/or” as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. 
     As used herein, the term “if” may be construed to mean “when” or “upon” or “in response to determining” or “in response to detecting,” depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase “if it is determined” or “if [a stated condition or event] is detected” may be construed to mean “upon determining” or “in response to determining” or “upon detecting [the stated condition or event]” or “in response to detecting [the stated condition or event],” depending on the context. 
     Embodiments of a portable multifunction device, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described. In some embodiments, the device is a portable communications device such as a mobile telephone that also contains other functions, such as PDA and/or music player functions. 
     The user interface may include a physical click wheel in addition to a touch screen or a virtual click wheel displayed on the touch screen. A click wheel is a user-interface device that may provide navigation commands based on an angular displacement of the wheel or a point of contact with the wheel by a user of the device. A click wheel may also be used to provide a user command corresponding to selection of one or more items, for example, when the user of the device presses down on at least a portion of the wheel or the center of the wheel. Alternatively, breaking contact with a click wheel image on a touch screen surface may indicate a user command corresponding to selection. For simplicity, in the discussion that follows, a portable multifunction device that includes a touch screen is used as an exemplary embodiment. It should be understood, however, that some of the user interfaces and associated processes may be applied to other devices, such as personal computers and laptop computers, which may include one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as a physical click wheel, a physical keyboard, a mouse and/or a joystick. 
     The device supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a blogging application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and/or a digital video player application. 
     The various applications that may be executed on the device may use at least one common physical user-interface device, such as the touch screen. One or more functions of the touch screen as well as corresponding information displayed on the device may be adjusted and/or varied from one application to the next and/or within a respective application. In this way, a common physical architecture (such as the touch screen) of the device may support the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent. 
     The user interfaces may include one or more soft keyboard embodiments. The soft keyboard embodiments may include standard (QWERTY) and/or non-standard configurations of symbols on the displayed icons of the keyboard, such as those described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/459,606, “Keyboards For Portable Electronic Devices,” filed Jul. 24, 2006, and Ser. No. 11/459,615, “Touch Screen Keyboards For Portable Electronic Devices,” filed Jul. 24, 2006, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. The keyboard embodiments may include a reduced number of icons (or soft keys) relative to the number of keys in existing physical keyboards, such as that for a typewriter. This may make it easier for users to select one or more icons in the keyboard, and thus, one or more corresponding symbols. The keyboard embodiments may be adaptive. For example, displayed icons may be modified in accordance with user actions, such as selecting one or more icons and/or one or more corresponding symbols. One or more applications on the portable device may utilize common and/or different keyboard embodiments. Thus, the keyboard embodiment used may be tailored to at least some of the applications. In some embodiments, one or more keyboard embodiments may be tailored to a respective user. For example, one or more keyboard embodiments may be tailored to a respective user based on a word usage history (lexicography, slang, individual usage) of the respective user. Some of the keyboard embodiments may be adjusted to reduce a probability of a user error when selecting one or more icons, and thus one or more symbols, when using the soft keyboard embodiments. 
     Attention is now directed towards embodiments of the device.  FIGS. 1A and 1B  are block diagrams illustrating portable multifunction devices  100  with touch-sensitive displays  112  in accordance with some embodiments. The touch-sensitive display  112  is sometimes called a “touch screen” for convenience, and may also be known as or called a touch-sensitive display system.

The device  100  may include one or more optical sensors  164 . These components may communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines  103 . 
     It should be appreciated that the device  100  is only one example of a portable multifunction device  100 , and that the device  100  may have more or fewer components than shown, may combine two or more components, or a may have a different configuration or arrangement of the components. The various components shown in  FIGS. 1A and 1B  may be implemented in hardware, software or a combination of both hardware and software, including one or more signal processing and/or application specific integrated circuits. 
     Memory  102  may include high-speed random access memory and may also include non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices. Access to memory  102  by other components of the device  100 , such as the CPU  120  and the peripherals interface  118 , may be controlled by the memory controller  122 . 
     The peripherals interface  118  couples the input and output peripherals of the device to the CPU  120  and memory  102 . The one or more processors  120  run or execute various software programs and/or sets of instructions stored in memory  102  to perform various functions for the device  100  and to process data. 
     In some embodiments, the peripherals interface  118 , the CPU  120 , and the memory controller  122  may be implemented on a single chip, such as a chip  104 . In some other embodiments, they may be implemented on separate chips. 
     The RF (radio frequency) circuitry  108  receives and sends RF signals, also called electromagnetic signals. The RF circuitry  108  converts electrical signals to/from electromagnetic signals and communicates with communications networks and other communications devices via the electromagnetic signals.

     The audio circuitry  110 , the speaker  111 , and the microphone  113  provide an audio interface between a user and the device  100 . The audio circuitry  110  receives audio data from the peripherals interface  118 , converts the audio data to an electrical signal, and transmits the electrical signal to the speaker  111 . The speaker  111  converts the electrical signal to human-audible sound waves. The audio circuitry  110  also receives electrical signals converted by the microphone  113  from sound waves. The audio circuitry  110  converts the electrical signal to audio data and transmits the audio data to the peripherals interface  118  for processing. Audio data may be retrieved from and/or transmitted to memory  102  and/or the RF circuitry  108  by the peripherals interface  118 . In some embodiments, the audio circuitry  110  also includes a headset jack (e.g.  212 ,  FIG. 2 ). The headset jack provides an interface between the audio circuitry  110  and removable audio input/output peripherals, such as output-only headphones or a headset with both output (e.g., a headphone for one or both ears) and input (e.g., a microphone). 
     The I/O subsystem  106  couples input/output peripherals on the device  100 , such as the touch screen  112  and other input/control devices  116 , to the peripherals interface  118 . The I/O subsystem  106  may include a display controller  156  and one or more input controllers  160  for other input or control devices. The one or more input controllers  160  receive/send electrical signals from/to other input or control devices  116 . The other input/control devices  116  may include physical buttons (e.g., push buttons, rocker buttons, etc.), dials, slider switches, joysticks, click wheels, and so forth. In some alternate embodiments, input controller(s)  160  may be coupled to any (or none) of the following: a keyboard, infrared port, USB port, and a pointer device such as a mouse. The one or more buttons (e.g.,  208 ,  FIG. 2 ) may include an up/down button for volume control of the speaker  111  and/or the microphone  113 . The one or more buttons may include a push button (e.g.,  206 ,  FIG. 2 ). A quick press of the push button may disengage a lock of the touch screen  112  or begin a process that uses gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device, as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/322,549, “Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image,” filed Dec. 23, 2005, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. A longer press of the push button (e.g.,  206 ) may turn power to the device  100  on or off. The user may be able to customize a functionality of one or more of the buttons. The touch screen  112  is used to implement virtual or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards. 
     The touch-sensitive touch screen  112  provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and a user. The display controller  156  receives and/or sends electrical signals from/to the touch screen  112 . The touch screen  112  displays visual output to the user. The visual output may include graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively termed “graphics”). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output may correspond to user-interface objects, further details of which are described below. 
     A touch screen  112  has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor or set of sensors that accepts input from the user based on haptic and/or tactile contact. The touch screen  112  and the display controller  156  (along with any associated modules and/or sets of instructions in memory  102 ) detect contact (and any movement or breaking of the contact) on the touch screen  112  and converts the detected contact into interaction with user-interface objects (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages or images) that are displayed on the touch screen. In an exemplary embodiment, a point of contact between a touch screen  112  and the user corresponds to a finger of the user. 
     The touch screen  112  may use LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, or LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, although other display technologies may be used in other embodiments. The touch screen  112  and the display controller  156  may detect contact and any movement or breaking thereof using any of a plurality of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with a touch screen  112 . 
     A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of the touch screen  112  may be analogous to the multi-touch sensitive tablets described in the following U.S. Pat. No. 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.), and/or U.S. Pat. No. 6,677,932 (Westerman), and/or U.S. Patent Publication 2002/0015024A1, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, a touch screen  112  displays visual output from the portable device  100 , whereas touch sensitive tablets do not provide visual output. 
     A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of the touch screen  112  may be as described in the following applications: (1) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/381,313, “Multipoint Touch Surface Controller,” filed May 2, 2006; (2) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/840,862, “Multipoint Touchscreen,” filed May 6, 2004; (3) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/903,964, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jul. 30, 2004; (4) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/048,264, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jan. 31, 2005; (5) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/038,590, “Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jan. 18, 2005; (6) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,758, “Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; (7) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,700, “Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; (8) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,737, “Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; and (9) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/367,749, “Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device,” filed Mar. 3, 2006. All of these applications are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. 
     The touch screen  112  may have a resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In an exemplary embodiment, the touch screen has a resolution of approximately 160 dpi. The user may make contact with the touch screen  112  using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which are much less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for performing the actions desired by the user. 
     In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, the device  100  may include a touchpad (not shown) for activating or deactivating particular functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output. The touchpad may be a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the touch screen  112  or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen. 
     In some embodiments, the device  100  may include a physical or virtual click wheel as an input control device  116 . A user may navigate among and interact with one or more graphical objects (henceforth referred to as icons) displayed in the touch screen  112  by rotating the click wheel or by moving a point of contact with the click wheel (e.g., where the amount of movement of the point of contact is measured by its angular displacement with respect to a center point of the click wheel). The click wheel may also be used to select one or more of the displayed icons. For example, the user may press down on at least a portion of the click wheel or an associated button. User commands and navigation commands provided by the user via the click wheel may be processed by an input controller  160  as well as one or more of the modules and/or sets of instructions in memory  102 . For a virtual click wheel, the click wheel and click wheel controller may be part of the touch screen  112  and the display controller  156 , respectively. For a virtual click wheel, the click wheel may be either an opaque or semitransparent object that appears and disappears on the touch screen display in response to user interaction with the device. In some embodiments, a virtual click wheel is displayed on the touch screen of a portable multifunction device and operated by user contact with the touch screen. 
     The device  100  also includes a power system  162  for powering the various components. The power system  162  may include a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., battery, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, a power failure detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator (e.g., a light-emitting diode (LED)) and any other components associated with the generation, management and distribution of power in portable devices. 
     The device  100  may also include one or more optical sensors  164 .  FIGS. 1A and 1B  show an optical sensor coupled to an optical sensor controller  158  in I/O subsystem  106 . The optical sensor  164  may include charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistors. The optical sensor  164  receives light from the environment, projected through one or more lens, and converts the light to data representing an image. In conjunction with an imaging module  143  (also called a camera module), the optical sensor  164  may capture still images or video. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the back of the device  100 , opposite the touch screen display  112  on the front of the device, so that the touch screen display may be used as a viewfinder for either still and/or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that the user&#39;s image may be obtained for videoconferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the position of the optical sensor  164  can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing) so that a single optical sensor  164  may be used along with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and/or video image acquisition. 
     The device  100  may also include one or more proximity sensors  166 .  FIGS. 1A and 1B  show a proximity sensor  166  coupled to the peripherals interface  118 . Alternately, the proximity sensor  166  may be coupled to an input controller  160  in the I/O subsystem  106 . The proximity sensor  166  may perform as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/241,839, “Proximity Detector In Handheld Device,” filed Sep. 30, 3005; Ser. No. 11/240,788, “Proximity Detector In Handheld Device,” filed Sep. 30, 3005; Ser. No. 11/620,702, “Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output”; Ser. No. 11/586,862, “Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices,” filed Oct. 24, 2006; and Ser. No. 11/638,251, “Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals,” which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, the proximity sensor turns off and disables the touch screen  112  when the multifunction device is placed near the user&#39;s ear (e.g., when the user is making a phone call). In some embodiments, the proximity sensor keeps the screen off when the device is in the user&#39;s pocket, purse, or other dark area to prevent unnecessary battery drainage when the device is a locked state. 
     The device  100  may also include one or more accelerometers  168 .  FIGS. 1A and 1B  show an accelerometer  168  coupled to the peripherals interface  118 . Alternately, the accelerometer  168  may be coupled to an input controller  160  in the I/O subsystem  106 . The accelerometer  168  may perform as described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 20050190059, “Acceleration-based Theft Detection System for Portable Electronic Devices,” and U.S. Patent Publication No. 20060017692, “Methods And Apparatuses For Operating A Portable Device Based On An Accelerometer,” both of which are which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. In some embodiments, information is displayed on the touch screen display in a portrait view or a landscape view based on an analysis of data received from the one or more accelerometers. 
     In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory  102  may include an operating system  126 , a communication module (or set of instructions)  128 , a contact/motion module (or set of instructions)  130 , a graphics module (or set of instructions)  132 , a text input module (or set of instructions)  134 , a Global Positioning System (GPS) module (or set of instructions)  135 , and applications (or set of instructions)  136 . 
     The operating system  126  (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates communication between various hardware and software components. 
     The communication module  128  facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports  124  and also includes various software components for handling data received by the RF circuitry  108  and/or the external port  124 . The external port  124  (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling directly to other devices or indirectly over a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with the 30-pin connector used on iPod (trademark of Apple Computer, Inc.) devices. 
     The contact/motion module  130  may detect contact with the touch screen  112  (in conjunction with the display controller  156 ) and other touch sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). The contact/motion module  130  includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred, determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch screen  112 , and determining if the contact has been broken (i.e., if the contact has ceased). Determining movement of the point of contact may include determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations may be applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., “multitouch”/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, the contact/motion module  130  and the display controller  156  also detects contact on a touchpad. In some embodiments, the contact/motion module  130  and the controller  160  detects contact on a click wheel. 
     The graphics module  132  includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics on the touch screen  112 , including components for changing the intensity of graphics that are displayed. As used herein, the term “graphics” includes any object that can be displayed to a user, including without limitation text, web pages, icons (such as user-interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations and the like. 
     The text input module  134 , which may be a component of graphics module  132 , provides soft keyboards for entering text in various applications (e.g., contacts  137 , e-mail  140 , IM  141 , blogging  142 , browser  147 , and any other application that needs text input). 
     The GPS module  135  determines the location of the device and provides this information for use in various applications (e.g., to telephone  138  for use in location-based dialing, to camera  143  and/or blogger  142  as picture/video metadata, and to applications that provide location-based services such as weather widgets, local yellow page widgets, and map/navigation widgets). 
     The applications  136  may include the following modules (or sets of instructions), or a subset or superset thereof:

In some embodiments, memory  102  may store a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory  102  may store additional modules and data structures not described above. 
     In some embodiments, the device  100  is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen  112  and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or a touchpad as the primary input/control device for operation of the device  100 , the number of physical input/control devices (such as push buttons, dials, and the like) on the device  100  may be reduced. 
     The predefined set of functions that may be performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates the device  100  to a main, home, or root menu from any user interface that may be displayed on the device  100 . In such embodiments, the touchpad may be referred to as a “menu button.” In some other embodiments, the menu button may be a physical push button or other physical input/control device instead of a touchpad. 
       FIG. 2  illustrates a portable multifunction device  100  having a touch screen  112  in accordance with some embodiments. The touch screen may display one or more graphics within user interface (UI)  200 . In this embodiment, as well as others, a user may select one or more of the graphics by making contact or touching the graphics, for example, with one or more fingers  202  (not drawn to scale in the figure). In some embodiments, selection of one or more graphics occurs when the user breaks contact with the one or more graphics. In some embodiments, the contact may include a gesture, such as one or more taps, one or more swipes (from left to right, right to left, upward and/or downward) and/or a rolling of a finger (from right to left, left to right, upward and/or downward) that has made contact with the device  100 . In some embodiments, inadvertent contact with a graphic may not select the graphic. For example, a swipe gesture that sweeps over an application icon may not select the corresponding application when the gesture corresponding to selection is a tap. 
     The device  100  may also include one or more physical buttons, such as “home” or menu button  204 . As described previously, the menu button  204  may be used to navigate to any application  136  in a set of applications that may be executed on the device  100 . Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI in touch screen  112 .

     In some embodiments, the device detects contact with the touch-sensitive display (e.g., a user&#39;s finger making contact on or near the unlock image  302 ) while the device is in a user-interface lock state. The device moves the unlock image  302  in accordance with the contact. The device transitions to a user-interface unlock state if the detected contact corresponds to a predefined gesture, such as moving the unlock image across channel  306 . Conversely, the device maintains the user-interface lock state if the detected contact does not correspond to the predefined gesture. As noted above, processes that use gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/322,549, “Unlocking A Device By Performing Gestures On An Unlock Image,” filed Dec. 23, 2005, and Ser.

     In some embodiments, the user interfaces UI  600 A ( FIG. 6A ), UI  600 B ( FIG. 6B ), and UI  600 C ( FIG. 6C ) include the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof:
           402 ,  404 ,  406 ,  5202 , and  5266 , as described above;   an input icon  5204  that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) initiates display of a UI for accessing bookmarks, recent queries, or contacts.   a view location icon  602  that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) initiates a process that displays the approximate region in which a computing device is located on a map;   a search mode icon  604  that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) initiates display of a UI for entering search terms (e.g., UI  600 A);   a directions mode icon  606  that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) initiates display of a UI for entering start and end points for a route search (e.g., UI  1000 C,  FIG. 10C );   a view options icon  608  that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) initiates display of a UI for displaying and selecting applications options (e.g., UI  800 A,  FIG. 8A );   a first visual indicator  614  ( FIG. 6B ) that indicates an approximate region in which the computing device is located in accordance with the received location information when the approximate region lies within the displayed map  5266 ; and   a second visual indicator  618  ( FIG. 6C ) around a perimeter of the displayed map  5266  that is displayed when the approximate region in which the computing device is located includes the displayed map  5266  and also extends beyond the displayed map.       

     The user interfaces in  FIGS. 6A-6C  are used to illustrate the process  700  described below with respect to  FIG. 7 . 
       FIG. 7  is flow diagram illustrating a method of displaying an approximate location of a computing device on a map in accordance with some embodiments. The method is performed at a computing device with a touch screen display (e.g., portable multifunction device  100 ). The method  700  provides a simple way for a user to view the device&#39;s present location along with a visual indication of the accuracy with which the device&#39;s location is known. 
     A map application (e.g.,  154 ,  FIG. 1B ) is displayed ( 702 ). The map application is configured to display a map (e.g., map  5266 ,  FIG. 6A ). 
     Location information for the computing device is received ( 704 ). In some embodiments, the location information corresponds to one or more terrestrial transmitting devices (e.g., cell towers, Wi-Fi sources, or other computing devices) from which the computing device receives signals. 
     In some embodiments, the device receives signals from a plurality of services capable of providing the location information, and selects location information from one of the plurality of services in accordance with location information selection criteria. For example, the location information received by the device may be GPS information, Wi-Fi information, or information from cell towers. After receiving this information, the device may select the GPS information (if available) rather than Wi-Fi or cell tower information. If GPS information is not available, the device may choose to use either Wi-Fi or cell tower information or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the device may use Wi-Fi information only if the Wi-Fi information is consistent with the information from cell tower sources. 
     In response to detecting a user gesture on a view location icon (e.g., gesture  610  on view location icon  602 ,  FIG. 6A ) while the map application is displayed, the device displays ( 706 ) a first visual indicator on a portion of the displayed map that indicates an approximate region in which the computing device is located in accordance with the received location information when the approximate region lies within the displayed map. For example, in  FIG. 6B , the displayed map includes a cross-hair circle  614  as a first visual indicator on a portion of the displayed map  5266 . The area within the indicator&#39;s perimeter represents an approximate region on the map in which the computing device is located. In some embodiments, the first visual indicator  614  includes a circle displayed on the displayed map  5266 . 
     In some embodiments, detecting the user gesture on the view location icon initiates ( 708 ) a request for the location information for the computing device. In some embodiments, the device receives ( 710 ) location information from a transmitting device that is located within the region corresponding to the displayed first visual indicator (e.g., cross-hair circle  614 ,  FIG. 6B ). 
     In response to detecting a user gesture on a view location icon (e.g., gesture  610  on view location icon  602 ,  FIG. 6A ) while the map application is displayed, the device displays ( 706 ) a second visual indicator (e.g., cross-hair rectangle  618 ,  FIG. 6C ) around a perimeter of the displayed map when the approximate region includes the displayed map and also extends beyond the displayed map. In some embodiments, the second visual indicator includes a rectangle displayed at the boundary of the displayed map. 
     The device changes ( 712 ) from displaying the first visual indicator to displaying the second visual indicator in response to magnifying an area of the map that includes the approximate region in which the computing device is located. For example, in response to a de-pinching finger gesture (e.g., gesture  616 ,  FIG. 6B ), which magnifies an area of the map, the device changes from displaying the first visual indicator  614  ( FIG. 6B ) to displaying the second visual indicator  618  ( FIG. 6C ). 
     The device changes ( 714 ) from displaying the second visual indicator to displaying the first visual indicator in response to de-magnifying an area of the map that includes the approximate region in which the computing device is located. For example, in response to a pinching finger gesture (e.g., gesture  620 ,  FIG. 6C ), which demagnifies an area of the map, the device changes from displaying the second visual indicator  618  ( FIG. 6C ) to displaying the first visual indicator  614  ( FIG. 6B ). 
       FIG. 8A  illustrates an exemplary user interface for displaying and selecting application options in accordance with some embodiments.  FIG. 8A  includes a curled version of a map application interface. But the curled version of the application interface is not limited to a map application.  FIG. 8B  illustrates an exemplary user interface with user-requested information overlaid on a map in accordance with some embodiments. 
     In some embodiments, UI  800 A ( FIG. 8A ) includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof:
           402 ,  404 ,  406 ,  5202 ,  5204 ,  602 ,  604 ,  606 , and  608 , as described above;   a portion  802  of a flat version of an application interface;   an image of a curled page  804  that obscures a portion of the flat version of the application interface;   a roll-up region  806  in a display region formerly occupied by a another portion of the flat version of the application interface, wherein the roll-up region includes a plurality of option icons.       

     For a map application, the plurality of options icons in the roll-up region  806  includes the following icons, or a subset or superset thereof:
         a drop pin icon  808  that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) initiates display of a user-moveable location marker on a flat version of a map;   a show traffic icon  810  that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) initiates display of traffic conditions on a flat version of a map;   a map view icon  812  that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) initiates display of a flat version of a graphical map;   a satellite view icon  814  that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) initiates display of a flat version of a satellite image corresponding to the graphical map;   a hybrid view icon  816  that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) initiates display of a flat version of a hybrid combination of a satellite image and a corresponding graphical map; and   a list view icon  818  that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) initiates display of a list of search results.       

     In some embodiments, UI  800 B ( FIG. 8B ) includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof:
           402 ,  404 ,  406 ,  5202 ,  5204 ,  602 ,  604 ,  606 , and  608 , as described above;   gas information icon  826  that is overlaid on the map when a gas information option icon (not shown) is selected;   lodging information icon  830  that is overlaid on the map when a lodging information option icon (not shown) is selected;   post office information icon  824  that is overlaid on the map when a post office information option icon (not shown) is selected; and   food information icon  828  that is overlaid on the map when a food information option icon (not shown) is selected.       

     The user interfaces in  FIGS. 6A and 8A-8B  are used to illustrate the process described below with respect to  FIG. 9 . 
       FIG. 9  is a flow diagram illustrating a method of displaying and selecting application options in accordance with some embodiments. The method  900  is performed at a computing device with a touch screen display (e.g., portable multifunction device  100 ). The method  900  provides a simple and intuitive way for a user to view and select various options when displaying an application. A map application is used here for exemplary and explanatory purposes. The method  900  is not limited to map applications. 
     A flat version of an application interface is displayed ( 902 ). For example, user interface  600 A ( FIG. 6A ) illustrates a flat version of an application interface for a map application. 
     In response to detecting a user gesture (e.g., a finger tap gesture  612 ,  FIG. 6A ) on a view options icon (e.g.,  608 ,  FIG. 6A ) while the flat version of the application interface is displayed, a curled version of the application interface is displayed ( 904 ). 
     The curled version of the application interface (e.g., interface  800 A,  FIG. 8A ) includes an image of a curled page that obscures a first portion of the flat version of the application interface. For example, in  FIG. 8A , curled page  804  obscures the portion of the map underneath the curled page. 
     The curled version of the application interface also includes a roll-up region (e.g., roll-up region  806 ,  FIG. 8A ) in a display region formerly occupied by a second portion of the flat version of the application interface. The roll-up region  806  includes a plurality of option icons (e.g., icons  808 ,  810 ,  812 ,  814 ,  816 , and  818  in  FIG. 8A ), with each respective icon in the plurality of option icons responsive to a user selection gesture on the respective option icon ( 904 ). 
     In some embodiments, the curled version of the application interface includes ( 906 ) a third portion of the flat version of the application interface. For example, in  FIG. 8A , the curled version of the map application interface  800 A includes a third portion  802  of the flat version of the map application interface that is not obscured by the image of the curled page  804 . 
     In some embodiments, the third portion is displayed in the curled version of the application interface in a manner that is visually distinct from display of the third portion in the flat version of the application interface. For example, the flat portion  802  in  FIG. 8A  may be darkened relative to the corresponding flat portion of the map  5266  in  FIG. 6A . Continuing to show a portion  802  of the flat version of the application helps maintain the application context for the user while simultaneously permitting the user to view the application options in the roll-up region  806  ( FIG. 8A ). 
     In some embodiments, a roll up animation is displayed ( 908 ) that transitions from displaying the flat version of the application interface to displaying the curled version of the application interface. For example, in response to detecting user gesture  612  on the view options icon  608  ( FIG. 6A ), a roll up animation may transition from  FIG. 6A  (the flat version) to  FIG. 8A  (the curled version). 
     In some embodiments, the application is a map application (e.g.,  154 ,  FIG. 1B ) and the flat version of the application interface includes a map (e.g., map  5266 ,  FIG. 6A ). 
     In some embodiments, for the map application, the plurality of option icons include a satellite view option icon  814 , a hybrid view option icon  816 , and a traffic information overlay option icon  810  ( FIG. 8A ). 
     In some embodiments, for the map application, the plurality of option icons include an icon for adding a user-moveable location marker to the map. For example,  FIG. 8A  includes a drop pin icon  808  for adding a user-moveable location marker (e.g., pin  1002 ,  FIG. 10A ) to map  5266 . 
     In some embodiments, for the map application, the plurality of option icons include a plurality of map overlay option icons. For example, there may be option icons allowing the user to overlay additional information on to the map  5266 , such as traffic  810 , gas, food, and lodging.  FIG. 8B  illustrates an exemplary user interface  800 B for displaying the additional information overlaid on the map (e.g., gas  826 , lodging  830 , food  828 , and mail  824 ) in response to user selection of corresponding map overlay option icons. 
     In some embodiments, the curled page includes a translucent representation of a portion of the flat version of the application interface. For example, the curled page  804  in  FIG. 8A  may display a translucent representation of map  5266  (not shown). In some embodiments, the curled page includes an inverted, translucent representation of a portion of the flat version of the application interface. For example, the curled page  804  in  FIG. 8A  may display an inverted, translucent representation of map  5266  (not shown). 
     A user selection gesture (e.g., gesture  822 ,  FIG. 8A ) on one or more of the plurality of option icons is detected ( 910 ). In some embodiments, the user selection gestures are finger gestures on the touch screen display. For example, in  FIG. 8A , user selection of the drop pin icon  808  is by finger gesture  822 . In some embodiments, the application interface displayed on the touch screen is responsive to stylus input gestures on the touch screen display. 
     The flat version of the application interface is redisplayed ( 912 ) with information corresponding to the one or more option icons upon which the user selection gestures were detected. For example,  FIG. 10A  shows a user-moveable location marker  1002  added to map  5266  and  FIG. 8B  shows information icons  824 ,  826 ,  828 , and  830 , which correspond to overlay option icons selected by the user, added to map  5266 . 
     In some embodiments, the flat version of the application interface is redisplayed in response to detecting a second user gesture on the view options icon. For example, in  FIG. 8A , in response to a finger tap gesture  820  on the view options icon  608 , display of the curled version  800 A transitions to redisplay of the flat version of the application interface with information corresponding to the one or more option icons upon which the user selection gestures were detected. 
     In some embodiments, user selection gestures are detected on at least two of the plurality of option icons, and the flat version of the application interface is redisplayed with information corresponding to the at least two of the plurality of option icons upon which user selection gestures were detected. For example, in the roll up region  806  of the curled version of the map application ( FIG. 8A ), the user may select both the show traffic icon  810  and the satellite icon  814  prior to redisplaying the flat version of the application interface. In response to a finger tap gesture  820  on the view options icon  608 , the device will redisplay the flat version of the map application interface with a satellite view and with traffic information overlaid on the map. 
     For some options icons, selection of the option icon may result in an immediate transition to the flat application interface with the corresponding option added, without requiring detection of a second gesture on the view options icon (or some other close options icon). For example, detection of gesture  822  on the drop pin icon  808  may result in the immediate transition to the flat application interface with a user moveable location marker added to the map (e.g., pin  1002  added to map  5266  in  FIG. 10A ). 
     In some embodiments, a roll down animation is displayed ( 914 ) that transitions from displaying the curled version of the application interface to redisplaying the flat version of the application interface with information corresponding to the one or more option icons upon which user selection gestures were detected. For example, in response to user selection of the view options icon  608  ( FIG. 8A ), a roll down animation may transition from  FIG. 8A  (the curled version) to  FIG. 6A  (the flat version). 
     The map application is just one example of an application that can use this method of displaying and selecting application options. Other applications that can use this method include, without limitation: contacts  137 ; telephone  138 ; video conferencing  139 ; e-mail client  140 ; instant messaging (IM)  141 ; blogging  142 ; camera  143 ; image management  144 ; video player  145 ; music player  146 ; browser  147 ; calendar  148 ; widgets  149  (e.g., weather widget  149 - 1 , stocks widget  149 - 2 , calculator widget  149 - 3 , alarm clock widget  149 - 4 , dictionary widget  149 - 5 , and other widgets obtained by the user, as well as user-created widgets  149 - 6 ); widget creator  150 ; search  151 ; video and music player  152 ; notes  153 ; and online video  155 .

     The user interfaces in  FIGS. 8A and 10A-10F  are used to illustrate the process  1100  described below with respect to  FIG. 11  and the process  1500  described below with respect to  FIG. 15 . 
       FIG. 11  is a flow diagram illustrating a method  1100  for displaying and moving a user-moveable location marker on a map in accordance with some embodiments. The method  1100  is performed at a computing device with a touch screen display (e.g., portable multifunction device  100 ). The method  1100  provides a simple way for a user to place a location marker on the displayed map, and retrieve information associated with the location of the marker (e.g., the address of the marker and directions to or from the marker). 
     A map application (e.g.,  154 ,  FIG. 1B ) is displayed ( 1102 ). The map application is configured to display a map (e.g., map  5266 ,  FIG. 10A ). 
     A first finger gesture is detected ( 1104 ) on an icon for adding a user-moveable location marker to the map (e.g., gesture  822 ,  FIG. 8A ). 
     The device displays ( 1105 ) the user-moveable location marker (e.g., marker  1002 - 1 ,  FIG. 10A ) on the map. In some embodiments, the user-moveable location marker  1002  is immediately displayed in response to detecting ( 1104 ) the finger gesture on the icon for adding a user-moveable location marker to the map (e.g., gesture  822 ,  FIG. 8A ). In some embodiments, the user-moveable location marker  1002  is not displayed on the map until a finger gesture on a view options icon  608  (e.g., gesture  820 ,  FIG. 8A ) or a close options icon is detected. 
     In some embodiments, the icon for adding a user-moveable location marker to the map is located in a curled version of the map application interface (e.g., icon  808  in UI  800 A,  FIG. 8A ). 
     In some embodiments, the device also displays text identifying the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map. For example, the device may be configured to automatically display text identifying the current location in user-selectable region  1006  ( FIG. 10A ). In some embodiments, text identifying the location of the marker may be displayed elsewhere in UI  1000 A ( FIG. 10A ) or in an interface (e.g., UI  1000 B,  FIG. 10B ) for displaying additional options and information associated with the location marker. 
     In some embodiments, the device transmits a request for a reverse lookup of the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map and receives information identifying the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map. In some embodiments, the device transmits the request for the reverse lookup without user intervention at predetermined times (e.g., when the marker is initially placed on the map and after the marker has been moved on the map). In some embodiments, the device transmits the request for the reverse lookup in response to a user request (e.g., in response to detecting a finger tap gesture  1016  on location marker  1002 - 1  ( FIG. 10A ). In some embodiments, UI  1000 A ( FIG. 10A ) or UI  1000 B ( FIG. 10B ) contains a reverse lookup icon (not shown) allowing the user to request a reverse lookup of the marker location. 
     In response to detecting a second finger gesture on the user-moveable location marker, the device moves ( 1106 ) the user-moveable location marker on the map in accordance with the second finger gesture. For example, in  FIG. 10A , the device moves the location marker  1002 - 1  in accordance with a second finger gesture  1012 . 
     In some embodiments, the second finger gesture (e.g.,  1012 ,  FIG. 10A ) includes a finger contact area that moves on the touch screen. In some embodiments, moving the user-moveable location marker on the map in accordance with the second finger gesture includes displaying the user-moveable location marker offset from the moving finger contact area during the second finger gesture. For example, in  FIG. 10A  the second finger gesture includes a finger contact area  1013  that moves on the touch screen. The user-moveable marker  1002 - 1  is offset from the moving finger contact area  1013 . More details on moving the marker  1002 - 1  will be discussed with respect to  FIGS. 12C ( 1 )- 12 C( 5 ) below. 
     In some embodiments, the user-moveable location marker is offset from the moving finger contact area such that a user&#39;s view of the user-moveable location marker is not obscured by the second finger gesture while moving the user-moveable location marker on the map in accordance with the second finger gesture. For example, the finger contact area (e.g., area  1013 ,  FIG. 10A , and area  1214 ,  FIGS. 12C ( 2 )- 12 C( 4 )) is offset from the moving location marker  1002 - 1  so that the location marker is not obscured by the second finger gesture ( FIG. 10A ). More details on moving the location marker  1002 - 1  will be discussed in reference to  FIG. 12C ( 1 )- 12 C( 5 ) below. 
     While displaying the map and the user-moveable location marker, the device displays ( 1108 ) a user-selectable region for obtaining information associated with a current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map. For example, UI  1000 A ( FIG. 10A ) includes a user selectable region  1004  for obtaining information associated with the marker  1002 - 1 . In some embodiments, the user-selectable region  1004  is denoted by a chevron (e.g. “&gt;”) and moves with the marker. In some embodiments, the display of user-selectable regions  1006  and  1004  is toggled on by a finger tap on the location marker  1002 - 1  and toggled off by a finger tap on region  1006 . In other embodiments, region  1006  is a user-selectable region for obtaining information associated with a current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map 
     In response to detecting a third finger gesture on the user-selectable region for obtaining information, the display of the map and the user-moveable location marker is replaced ( 1110 ) with a display of a plurality of option icons. For example, in response to a third finger gesture  1010  on the user-selectable region  1004  ( FIG. 10A ), the device replaces the display of the map  5266  and the marker  1002 - 1  with a display of a plurality of option icons (e.g., icons  1024 ,  1026 ,  1028 ,  1030 ,  1032 , and  1034  in UI  1000 B,  FIG. 10B ). The plurality of option icons includes a first icon (add to bookmarks icon  1024 ), a second icon (directions to here icon  1026 ), and a third icon (directions from here icon  1028 ) that are described in more detail below. 
     In response to detection of a finger gesture on the first icon, the display of the plurality of option icons is replaced ( 1110 ) with a display of a user interface for adding an entry to a set of bookmarked locations. The added entry corresponds to the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map. For example, in UI  1000 B ( FIG. 10B ), in response to detection of a finger gesture  1036  on the add to bookmarks icon  1024 , the display of the plurality of option icons is replaced with a display of a user interface (e.g., UI  1000 E  FIG. 10E ) for adding an entry to a set of bookmarked locations. UI  1000 E may include a text input box for modifying the name of the location marker (“Dropped Pin”,  FIG. 10E ) with a soft keyboard  5236 . 
     In some embodiments, adding the entry to the set of bookmarked locations includes displaying a sequence of graphical user interfaces responsive to user gestures for adding the entry to the set of bookmarked locations. 
     In response to detection of a finger gesture on the second icon, the display of the plurality of option icons is replaced ( 1110 ) with a display of a user interface for getting directions to the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map from another location. For example, in response to a finger gesture  1038  ( FIG. 10B ) on the directions to here icon  1026 , the display of the plurality of option icons is replaced with a display of a user interface UI  1000 C ( FIG. 10C ) for getting directions to the location of the marker on the map. In UI  1000 C ( FIG. 10C ), the area  5215  for entering the end point is automatically populated with the name of the location marker (e.g., “Dropped Pin” in  FIG. 10C ). The user then merely has to enter the starting location and activate the route initiation icon  5227  (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) to obtain directions to the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map. In some embodiments, the device requests a reverse lookup to identify the current location of the marker. 
     In response to detection of a finger gesture on the third icon, the display of the plurality of option icons is replaced ( 1110 ) with a display of a user interface for getting directions from the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map to another location. For example, in response to a finger gesture  1040  ( FIG. 10B ) on the directions from here icon  1028 , the display of the plurality of option icons is replaced with a display of a user interface UI  1000 D ( FIG. 10D ) for getting directions from the location of the marker on the map. In UI  1000 D ( FIG. 10D ), the area  5213  for entering the start point is automatically populated with the name of the location marker (e.g., “Dropped Pin” in  FIG. 10D ). The user then merely has to enter the ending location and activate the route initiation icon  5227  (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) to obtain directions from the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map. In some embodiments, the device requests a reverse lookup to identify the current location of the marker. 
     In some embodiments, the plurality of option icons include a fourth icon (remove location marker icon  1030 ), wherein in response to detection of a finger gesture on the fourth icon, the user-moveable location marker is deleted. For example, in response to a finger gesture  1042  ( FIG. 10B ) on the remove location marker icon  1030  (e.g. “Remove Pin”), the corresponding user-moveable location marker  1002 - 1  is deleted from the map  5266  ( FIG. 10A ). 
     In some embodiments, the plurality of option icons include an icon for adding an entry to a list of contacts, the added entry including location information corresponding to the map location of the marker. For example, in response to a finger gesture  1044  ( FIG. 10B ) on the create new contact icon  1032 , UI  1000 B is replaced with display of a user interface (or series of user interfaces) for adding an entry to a set of contacts, the added entry including location information corresponding to the location of the user-moveable location marker  1002 - 1  on the map  5266  ( FIG. 10A ). 
     In some embodiments, the plurality of option icons include an icon for updating an entry in a list of contacts to include location information corresponding to the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map. For example, in response to a finger gesture  1046  ( FIG. 10B ) on the add to existing contact icon  1034 , UI  1000 B is replaced with display of a user interface (or series of user interfaces) for updating an entry in a set of contacts to include location information corresponding to the location of the user-moveable location marker  1002 - 1  on the map  5266  ( FIG. 10A ). 
       FIGS. 12A-12E  illustrate examples of user interactions with a displayed map, a user-moveable location marker, and information associated with the location marker via finger gestures in accordance with some embodiments.  FIGS. 12A-12E  are used to illustrate the process  1300  described below with respect to  FIG. 13 . 
       FIG. 13  is a flow diagram illustrating a method  1300  for interacting with a displayed map and a location marker in accordance with some embodiments. The method  1300  distinguishes between gestures intended to move a map, gestures intended to move a location marker rather than the map, gestures intended for getting additional information about the location marker, and gestures intended for other types of interactions with the map. The method  1300  occurs at a computing device with a touch screen display (e.g., portable multifunction device  100 ). The method permits a map application on a touch screen display to respond to imprecise finger gestures in a manner that conforms to a user&#39;s expectations. In other words, the method enables a user&#39;s finger gestures to control a map application in a simple, intuitive way. 
     In response to detecting a first finger gesture on a marker on a digital map on the touch screen display, the device moves ( 1302 ) the digital map on the touch screen display. The first finger gesture moves a finger contact area more than a first predetermined distance in a first predetermined time when a finger in the first finger gesture initially touches the touch screen display. 
     For example, in  FIG. 12A , first finger gesture  1202  moves a finger contact area  1204  more than a first predetermined distance (e.g., 3-5 mm) in a first predetermined time (e.g., 0.2-0.3 seconds) when a finger in the first finger gesture  1202  initially touches the touch screen display. In response to detecting first finger gesture  1202  on a marker  1002  on a digital map  5266  on the touch screen display, the device moves ( 1302 ) the digital map  5266  on the touch screen display, as shown in  FIG. 12A . 
     The device interprets the initial movement in the first finger gesture  1202  as an instruction to move the displayed map (e.g., in accordance with the movement of the first finger gesture), rather than interpreting the first finger gesture as some other instruction (e.g., an instruction associated with the second, third, fourth, or fifth finger gestures, described below). 
     In response to detecting a second finger gesture on the marker on the digital map on the touch screen display, the device displays ( 1304 ) a user-selectable region for obtaining information associated with the marker on the touch screen display. The second finger gesture is a single tap gesture that moves a finger contact area less than a second predetermined distance and lasts less than a second predetermined time. 
     For example, in  FIG. 12B , second finger gesture  1206  is a single tap gesture that moves a finger contact area  1208  less than a second predetermined distance (e.g., 3-5 mm) and lasts less than a second predetermined time (e.g., 0.2-0.3 seconds). In response to detecting the second finger gesture  1206  on the marker  1002  on the digital map  5266  on the touch screen display, the device displays ( 1304 ) a user-selectable region  1004  for obtaining information associated with the marker  1002  on the touch screen display, as shown in  FIG. 12B . 
     The device interprets the second finger single tap gesture  1206  as an instruction to display user-selectable region  1004  for obtaining information associated with the marker  1002 , rather than interpreting the second finger gesture as some other instruction (e.g., an instruction associated with the first, third, fourth, or fifth finger gestures). 
     In some embodiments, the second predetermined distance for the second gesture is the same as the first predetermined distance for the first gesture. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the second predetermined distance for the second gesture is different from the first predetermined distance for the first gesture. In some embodiments, the second predetermined time for the second gesture is the same as the first predetermined time for the first gesture. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the second predetermined time for the second gesture is different from the first predetermined time for the first gesture. 
     In response to detecting a third finger gesture on a user-moveable location marker on the digital map on the touch screen display, the device moves ( 1306 ) the user-moveable location marker on the digital map in accordance with the third finger gesture. The third finger gesture includes a stationary (or substantially stationary) contact followed by translation of a finger contact area on the touch screen display after the second predetermined time ends. The stationary (or substantially stationary) contact moves the finger contact area less than a third predetermined distance and lasts more than the second predetermined time. 
     For example, in  FIG. 12C , third finger gesture  1212  includes a stationary (or substantially stationary) contact  1212 - 1  followed by translation  1212 - 2  of a finger contact area on the touch screen display after the second predetermined time ends. The stationary (or substantially stationary) contact  1212 - 1  moves the finger contact area less than a third predetermined distance (e.g., 3-5 mm) and lasts more than the second predetermined time (e.g., 0.2-0.3 seconds). In response to detecting the third finger gesture  1212  on a user-moveable location marker  1002  ( FIG. 12C ) on the digital map on the touch screen display, the device moves ( 1306 ) the user-moveable location marker  1002  on the digital map in accordance with the third finger gesture (e.g., in  FIGS. 12C ( 1 )- 12 C( 5 ), from 4 th  street to 6 th  street in accordance with translation  1212 - 2 ). 
     In some embodiments, the third finger gesture  1212  includes a finger contact area  1214  that moves on the touch screen. In some embodiments, moving the user-moveable location marker  1002  on the map  5266  in accordance with the third finger gesture  1212 - 2  includes displaying the user-moveable location marker  1002  offset from the moving finger contact area  1214  during the third finger gesture  1212 - 2 . For example, in  FIG. 12C ( 1 ), the user-moveable location marker  1002  is initially obscured by finger contact area  1214 . After contact  1212 - 1  has exceeded the second predetermined time (e.g., 0.2-0.3 seconds), the user-moveable location marker  1002  may be offset from the finger contact area  1214  ( FIG. 12C ( 2 )). In some embodiments, an animation is displayed that shows the user-moveable location marker  1002  being offset from the finger contact area  1214  (e.g., an animation that transitions from  FIG. 12C ( 1 ) to  FIG. 12C ( 2 )). In some embodiments, a shadow  1210  of the user-moveable location marker  1002  is displayed. In some embodiments, the shadow  1210  touches the user-moveable location marker  1002  to indicate that the marker  1002  is “attached” to the map  5266  and cannot be moved (e.g.,  FIGS. 12C ( 1 ) and  12 C( 5 )). In some embodiments, the shadow  1210  is separated from the user-moveable location marker  1002  to indicate that the marker  1002  has been “detached” or “lifted up” from the map  5266  so that the marker  1002  (but not the map  5266 ) will move in accordance with the finger gesture (e.g., the marker moves in accordance with gesture  1212 - 2  in  FIGS. 12C ( 2 )- 12 C( 4 ), with the shadow  1210  separated from the marker  1002 ). 
     In some embodiments, the user-moveable location marker  1002  is offset from the moving finger contact area such that a user&#39;s view of the user-moveable location marker is not obscured by the third finger gesture while moving the user-moveable location marker  1002  on the map  5266  in accordance with the third finger gesture. For example, the finger contact area  1214  in  FIGS. 12C ( 2 )- 12 C( 4 ) is offset from the moving location marker  1002  so that the location marker  1002  is not obscured by the third finger gesture. 
     The device interprets the third finger gesture  1212  as an instruction to move the user-moveable location marker  1002  on the digital map in accordance with the third finger gesture  1212 , rather than interpreting the third finger gesture as some other instruction (e.g., an instruction associated with the first, second, fourth, or fifth finger gestures). 
     In some embodiments, in response to detecting a fourth finger gesture on or near the marker on the digital map on the touch screen display, the device magnifies ( 1308 ) an area of the map that includes the marker on the touch screen display. The fourth finger gesture is a single-finger, double tap gesture that moves a finger contact area less than a fourth predetermined distance and lasts less than a fourth predetermined time. In some embodiments, the fourth predetermined time is equal to the second predetermined time. 
     For example, in  FIG. 12D , the fourth finger gesture  1216  is a single-finger, double tap gesture that moves a finger contact area  1218  less than a fourth predetermined distance (e.g., 3-5 mm) and lasts less than a fourth predetermined time (e.g., 0.2-0.3 seconds). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the fourth finger gesture  1216  on or near the marker  1002  on the digital map  5266  on the touch screen display, the device magnifies ( 1308 ) an area of the map that includes the marker  1002  on the touch screen display ( FIG. 12D ). In some embodiments, the fourth predetermined time is equal to the second predetermined time. In some embodiments, the device compares the time delay between detection of a first tap gesture and a second tap gesture to a predetermined value (e.g., 0.1-0.2 seconds) to determine if the user is making a double tap gesture. In some embodiments, the device also compares a change in location of the first tap gesture and the second tap gesture to a predetermined value (e.g., 3-5 mm) to determine if the user is making a double tap gesture. 
     The device interprets the fourth finger gesture  1216  as an instruction to magnify an area of the map that includes the marker, rather than interpreting the fourth finger gesture as some other instruction (e.g., an instruction associated with the first, second, third, or fifth finger gestures). 
     In some embodiments, in response to detecting a fifth finger gesture on the marker on the digital map on the touch screen display, the device demagnifies ( 1310 ) an area of the map that includes the marker on the touch screen display. The fifth finger gesture is a two-finger, double tap gesture that lasts less than a fifth predetermined time. In some embodiments, the fifth predetermined time is equal to the second predetermined time. 
     For example, in  FIG. 12E , the fifth finger gesture  1218  is a two-finger, double tap gesture that lasts less than a fifth predetermined time (e.g., 0.2-0.3 seconds). In response to detecting the fifth finger gesture  1218  on the marker  1002  on the digital map  5266  on the touch screen display, the device demagnifies ( 1310 ) an area of the map that includes the marker on the touch screen display ( FIG. 12E ). In some embodiments, the fifth predetermined time is equal to the second predetermined time. In some embodiments, the device compares the time delay between detection of a first two-finger tap gesture and a second two-finger tap gesture to a predetermined value (e.g., 0.1-0.2 seconds) to determine if the user is making a two-finger double tap gesture. In some embodiments, the device also compares changes in locations of the two fingers in the first tap gesture and the two fingers in the second tap gesture to predetermined values (e.g., 3-5 mm) to determine if the user is making a two-finger double tap gesture. 
     The device interprets the fifth finger gesture  1218  as an instruction to demagnify an area of the map that includes the marker, rather than interpreting the fifth finger gesture as some other instruction (e.g., an instruction associated with the first, second, third, or fourth finger gestures). 
       FIG. 14  is a flow diagram illustrating a method  1400  for obtaining directions in accordance with some embodiments. The method  1400  occurs at a computing device with a touch screen display (e.g., portable multifunction device  100 ). 
     The computing device displays ( 1402 ) a map application. The map application is configured to separately display:
         a list  5240  ( FIG. 10F ) of bookmarked locations, wherein a current location icon  1070  for the device is displayed at the top of the list of bookmarked locations  5434 ;   a list  5246  ( FIG. 5H ) of recent queries by a user;   a list  5252  ( FIG. 5J ) of contacts for the user; and   a keyboard  5216  with a route search initiation icon  5225  ( FIG. 5R );       

     In some embodiments, if the view location icon  602  ( FIG. 6A ) is activated (e.g., by a finger tap  610  on the icon), a current location icon  1070  corresponding to the current location of the device is displayed at the top of the list of bookmarked locations  5434  even if the current location has not been made into a bookmark (e.g., even if UI  1000 E ( FIG. 10E ) is not used on the current location). In process  1400 , the current location icon  1070  is treated as a bookmarked location even if it is not an actual bookmarked location. 
     In some embodiments, the list  5240  ( FIG. 10F ) of bookmarked locations may include an entry  1070  corresponding to the current location of the device and an entry  1072  (e.g., “Dropped Pin”) corresponding to the location of a user-moveable marker  1002 . In some embodiments, entries  1070  and  1072  are displayed at the top of the list of bookmarked locations  5434  (e.g., in the first two positions in the list) even if these two entries have not been made into bookmarks (e.g., even if UI  1000 E ( FIG. 10E ) is not used on the current location or the location of a corresponding user-moveable marker  1002 ). In process  1400 , entries  1070  and  1072  are treated as bookmarked locations even if entries  1070  and  1072  are not actual bookmarked locations. Having one or both of these entries at the top of the list of bookmarked locations makes it easy for a user to add these locations to a search, to the starting location of a route search, and/or to the ending location of a route search (e.g., by a finger tap on entry  1070  or entry  1072 ). 
     In response to detecting a finger gesture on an input icon associated with the first area (e.g., input icon  5219  associated with area  5213 ,  FIG. 10C ), the device displays ( 1408 ):
         the list  5240  ( FIG. 10F ) of bookmarked locations, wherein in response to detecting a finger gesture on a bookmarked location (including entry  1070  or entry  1072 ) in the list of bookmarked locations, the map application receives an address or name, corresponding to the bookmarked location, when the address or name is entered in the first area;   the list  5246  ( FIG. 5H ) of recent queries by the user, wherein in response to detecting a finger gesture on a location in the list of recent queries by the user, the map application receives an address corresponding to the location when the address is entered in the first area; or   the list  5252  ( FIG. 5J ) of contacts for the user, wherein in response to detecting a finger gesture on a contact in the list of contacts for the user, the map application receives an address associated with the contact when the address is entered in the first area;       

     In response to detecting a finger gesture on an input icon associated with the second area (e.g., input icon  5223  associated with area  5215 ,  FIG. 10C ), the device displays ( 1410 ):
         the list  5240  ( FIG. 10F ) of bookmarked locations, wherein in response to detecting a finger gesture on a bookmarked location (including entry  1070  or entry  1072 ) in the list of bookmarked locations, the map application receives an address or name, corresponding to the bookmarked location, when the address or name corresponding to the bookmarked location is entered in the second area;   the list  5246  ( FIG. 5H ) of recent queries by the user, wherein in response to detecting a finger gesture on a location in the list of recent queries by the user, the map application receives an address corresponding to the location when the address corresponding to the location is entered in the second area; or   the list  5252  ( FIG. 5J ) of contacts for the user, wherein in response to detecting an finger gesture on a contact in the list of contacts for the user, the map application receives an address associated with the contact when the address associated with the contact is entered in the second area.       

     In response to detecting a finger gesture on the route search initiation icon (e.g.,  5227 ,  FIG. 10C ), the device ( 1412 ):
         sends the first location and the second location to a remote computer;   receives routing information between the first location and the second location; and   displays at least some of the routing information between the first location and the second location on a digital map.       

       FIG. 15  is a flow diagram illustrating a method for displaying and moving a user-moveable location marker  1002  on a map in accordance with some embodiments. The method  1500  occurs at a computing device with a touch screen display (e.g., portable multifunction device  100 ). The method  1500  provides a simple way for a user to place a location marker on the displayed map, and retrieve information associated with the location of the marker (e.g., the address of the marker and directions to or from the marker). 
     The device displays ( 1502 ) a map application (e.g.,  154 ,  FIG. 1B ). The map application is configured to display a map (e.g., map  5266 ,  FIG. 10A ). In response to detecting a stationary first finger gesture (e.g.,  1016 ,  FIG. 10A ) on the displayed map for greater than a predetermined time, the device displays ( 1504 ) a user-moveable location marker (e.g., marker  1002 - 1 ,  FIG. 10A ) on the map. Thus, in method  1500 , a user-moveable location marker is added to a map merely by touching and holding a finger on the touch screen display for greater than a predetermined time (e.g., 0.5-1.0 seconds). The remainder of method  1500  is similar to method  1100 , described above 
     In response to detecting a second finger gesture on the user-moveable location marker, the device moves ( 1506 ) the user-moveable location marker on the map in accordance with the second finger gesture. For example, in  FIG. 10A , the device moves the location marker  1002 - 1  in accordance with a second finger gesture  1012 . 
     In some embodiments, the second finger gesture (e.g.,  1012 ,  FIG. 10A ) includes a finger contact area that moves on the touch screen. In some embodiments, moving the user-moveable location marker on the map in accordance with the second finger gesture includes displaying the user-moveable location marker offset from the moving finger contact area during the second finger gesture. For example, in  FIG. 10A  the second finger gesture includes a finger contact area  1013  that moves on the touch screen. The user-moveable marker  1002 - 1  is offset from the moving finger contact area  1013 . More details on moving the marker  1002 - 1  were discussed with respect to  FIG. 12C ( 1 )- 12 C( 5 ) above. 
     In some embodiments, the user-moveable location marker is offset from the moving finger contact area such that a user&#39;s view of the user-moveable location marker is not obscured by the second finger gesture while moving the user-moveable location marker on the map in accordance with the second finger gesture. For example, the finger contact area (e.g., area  1013 ,  FIG. 10A , and area  1214 ,  FIG. 12C ( 2 )- 12 C( 4 )) is offset from the moving location marker  1002 - 1  so that the location marker is not obscured by the second finger gesture ( FIG. 10A ). More details on moving the location marker  1002 - 1  were discussed in reference to  FIG. 12C ( 1 )- 12 C( 5 ) above. 
     In some embodiments, the device displays ( 1508 ) text identifying the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map. For example, the device may be configured to automatically display text identifying the current location in user-selectable region  1006  ( FIG. 10A ). In some embodiments, text identifying the location of the marker may be displayed elsewhere in UI  1000 A ( FIG. 10A ) or in an interface (e.g., UI  1000 B,  FIG. 10B ) for displaying additional options and information associated with the location marker. 
     In some embodiments, the device transmits ( 1510 ) a request for a reverse lookup of the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map and receives information identifying the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map. In some embodiments, the device transmits the request for the reverse lookup without user intervention at predetermined times (e.g., when the marker is initially placed on the map and after the marker has been moved on the map). In some embodiments, the device transmits the request for the reverse lookup in response to a user request (e.g., in response to detecting a finger tap gesture  1016  on location marker  1002 - 1  ( FIG. 10A ). In some embodiments, UI  1000 A ( FIG. 10A ) or UI  1000 B ( FIG. 10B ) contains a reverse lookup icon (not shown) allowing the user to request a reverse lookup of the marker location. 
     While displaying the map and the user-moveable location marker, the device displays ( 1512 ) a user-selectable region for obtaining information associated with a current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map. For example, UI  1000 A ( FIG. 10A ) includes a user selectable region  1004  for obtaining information associated with the marker  1002 - 1 . In some embodiments, the user-selectable region  1004  is denoted by a chevron (e.g. “&gt;”) and moves with the marker. In some embodiments, the display of user-selectable regions  1006  and  1004  is toggled on by a finger tap on the location marker  1002 - 1  and toggled off by a finger tap on region  1006 . In other embodiments, region  1006  is a user-selectable region for obtaining information associated with a current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map 
     In response to detecting a third finger gesture on the user-selectable region for obtaining information, the display of the map and the user-moveable location marker is replaced ( 1514 ) with a display of a plurality of option icons. For example, in response to a third finger gesture  1010  on the user-selectable region  1004  ( FIG. 10A ), the device replaces the display of the map  5266  and the marker  1002 - 1  with a display of a plurality of option icons (e.g., icons  1024 ,  1026 ,  1028 ,  1030 ,  1032 , and  1034  in UI  1000 B,  FIG. 10B ). The plurality of option icons includes a first icon (add to bookmarks icon  1024 ), a second icon (directions to here icon  1026 ), and a third icon (directions from here icon  1028 ) that are described in more detail below. 
     In response to detection of a finger gesture on the first icon, the display of the plurality of option icons is replaced ( 1514 ) with a display of a user interface for adding an entry to a set of bookmarked locations. The added entry corresponds to the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map. For example, in UI  1000 B ( FIG. 10B ), in response to detection of a finger gesture  1036  on the add to bookmarks icon  1024 , the display of the plurality of option icons is replaced with a display of a user interface (e.g., UI  1000 E  FIG. 10E ) for adding an entry to a set of bookmarked locations. UI  1000 E may include a text input box for modifying the name of the location marker (“Dropped Pin”,  FIG. 10E ) with a soft keyboard  5236 . 
     In some embodiments, adding the entry to the set of bookmarked locations includes displaying a sequence of graphical user interfaces responsive to user gestures for adding the entry to the set of bookmarked locations. 
     In response to detection of a finger gesture on the second icon, the display of the plurality of option icons is replaced ( 1514 ) with a display of a user interface for getting directions to the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map from another location. For example, in response to a finger gesture  1038  ( FIG. 10B ) on the directions to here icon  1026 , the display of the plurality of option icons is replaced with a display of a user interface UI  1000 C ( FIG. 10C ) for getting directions to the location of the marker on the map. In UI  1000 C ( FIG. 10C ), the area  5215  for entering the end point is automatically populated with the name of the location marker (e.g., “Dropped Pin” in  FIG. 10C ). The user then merely has to enter the starting location and activate the route initiation icon  5227  (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) to obtain directions to the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map. In some embodiments, the device requests a reverse lookup to identify the current location of the marker. 
     In response to detection of a finger gesture on the third icon, the display of the plurality of option icons is replaced ( 1514 ) with a display of a user interface for getting directions from the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map to another location. For example, in response to a finger gesture  1040  ( FIG. 10B ) on the directions from here icon  1028 , the display of the plurality of option icons is replaced with a display of a user interface UI  1000 D ( FIG. 10D ) for getting directions from the location of the marker on the map. In UI  1000 D ( FIG. 10D ), the area  5213  for entering the start point is automatically populated with the name of the location marker (e.g., “Dropped Pin” in  FIG. 10D ). The user then merely has to enter the ending location and activate the route initiation icon  5227  (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) to obtain directions from the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map. In some embodiments, the device requests a reverse lookup to identify the current location of the marker. 
     In some embodiments, the plurality of option icons include a fourth icon (remove location marker icon  1030 ), wherein in response to detection of a finger gesture on the fourth icon, the user-moveable location marker is deleted. For example, in response to a finger gesture  1042  ( FIG. 10B ) on the remove location marker icon  1030  (e.g. “Remove Pin”), the corresponding user-moveable location marker  1002 - 1  is deleted from the map  5266  ( FIG. 10A ). 
     In some embodiments, the plurality of option icons include an icon for adding an entry to a list of contacts, the added entry including location information corresponding to the map location of the marker. For example, in response to a finger gesture  1044  ( FIG. 10B ) on the create new contact icon  1032 , UI  1000 B is replaced with display of a user interface (or series of user interfaces) for adding an entry to a set of contacts, the added entry including location information corresponding to the location of the user-moveable location marker  1002 - 1  on the map  5266  ( FIG. 10A ). 
     In some embodiments, the plurality of option icons include an icon for updating an entry in a list of contacts to include location information corresponding to the current location of the user-moveable location marker on the map. For example, in response to a finger gesture  1046  ( FIG. 10B ) on the add to existing contact icon  1034 , UI  1000 B is replaced with display of a user interface (or series of user interfaces) for updating an entry in a set of contacts to include location information corresponding to the location of the user-moveable location marker  1002 - 1  on the map  5266  ( FIG. 10A ).
