  • Systems and methods for utilizing multiple map portions from multiple map data sources
    Patent number: 10515470
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can acquire a request for a map of a particular region. A first set of one or more map portions for representing a first portion of the particular region can be identified based on the particular region. The first set can be associated with a first map data source. A second set of one or more map portions for representing a second portion of the particular region can be identified based on the particular region. The second set can be associated with a second map data source. The map of the particular region can be generated based on a combination of the first set and the second set.

  • Systems and methods for utilizing available map resources to generate previews for map portions
    Patent number: 9898178
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide a particular map portion out of a plurality of map portions representing a particular region. An instruction to zoom in, to a requested zoom level, with respect to the particular map portion can be received. It can be determined that a set of four map portions for representing the particular map portion at the requested zoom level is yet to be available. The set of four map portions for representing the particular map portion at the requested zoom level can be acquired. An enlarged version of the particular map portion can be provided, based on the requested zoom level, as a preview for the set of four map portions. The enlarged version of the particular map portion can be provided while the set of four map portions is being acquired.
