Abstract: Various embodiments present a combined visual entity that represents overlapping visual entities. The combined visual entity can include a primary visualization that represents one of the overlapping visual entities and annotations that represent others of the overlapping visual entities. For example, a map view can include multiple geographical entities that overlap. A primary visualization can be rendered that represents one of the multiple geographical entities. The primary visualization can be visually annotated (e.g., with symbols, letters, or other visual indicators) to indicate others of the multiple geographical entities. In some embodiments, a zoom operation can cause visual entities to be added and/or removed from the combined visual entity.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable overlapping visual entities to be grouped into a cluster that can be opened to reveal individual visual entities that form the cluster. According to one or more embodiments, a cluster is represented on a map by a visual representation known as a foundation. A user can interact with the foundation to cause the cluster to be opened to reveal a flyout that includes individual visual entities that form the cluster. In some embodiments, the visual entities can represent geographical locations in a map view. A user can also interact with an individual visual entity of the flyout to acquire more information about the visual entity. In at least some embodiments, a combined visual entity is presented that represents multiple overlapping visual entities. The combined visual entity can include different visual representations for each of the multiple overlapping visual entities.

Abstract: A system and method to display an ancillary image which is movable with a cursor image. A cursor image indication is obtained which is indicative of the cursor image. An ancillary image indication is generated based on the cursor image indication. The cursor image and the ancillary image are displayed based on the cursor image indication and the ancillary image indication.
