  • Patent number: 11920945
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing landmark-assisted navigation guidance by selectively utilizing database information includes receiving navigation requests from one or more mobile computing devices, each of the requests being associated with a respective starting point, destination, and travel mode. For each navigation request, a corresponding route to be depicted in a corresponding digital map is determined. For each navigation request associated with a first travel mode, corresponding points of interest (POIs) are determined from among a plurality of POIs stored in a database. The corresponding POIs are determined based at least on whether the corresponding POIs are associated with any landmark category. For each navigation request associated with a second travel mode, corresponding POIs are determined irrespective of whether the corresponding POIs are associated with any landmark categories.

For each navigation request, a corresponding route to be depicted in a corresponding digital map is determined. For each navigation request associated with a first travel mode, corresponding points of interest (POIs) are determined from among a plurality of POIs stored in a database. The corresponding POIs are determined based on at least a zoom level of the corresponding map and whether the corresponding POIs are associated with any landmark category. For each navigation request associated with a second travel mode, corresponding POIs are determined based on at least a zoom level of the corresponding map, but irrespective of whether the corresponding POIs are associated with any landmark categories.

  • Publication number: 20210364312
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing turn-specific navigation guidance to a user of a mobile computing device includes presenting, within a viewport provided by a GUI of the mobile computing device, a digital map depicting a route from a starting point to a destination. The digital map includes, for each of one or more turns along the route, a turn graphic situated at an area of the digital map that depicts a portion of the route corresponding to the turn. The method also includes detecting a user selection, made via the GUI, of the turn graphic corresponding to a first turn of the one or more turns, and in response presenting, via the GUI, a detail view of the first turn. The detail view of the first turn includes a zoomed-in portion of the digital map, and the zoomed-in portion includes a graphic representation of the first turn.
