  • Patent number: 9482548
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for populating a map interface with a route inspection portal and/or for generating travel route video. In an example, a map interface is populated with a map canvas illustrating a travel route. The map canvas is populated with inspection markers corresponding to imagery depicting travel route portions of the travel route. Responsive to identifying a selection of an inspection marker at an inspection location, imagery depicting the inspection location may be identified. The map canvas is populated with a route inspection portal for the inspection marker. The route inspection portal is populated with the imagery (e.g., street-side imagery of an intersection along the travel route). In an example, a travel route video, comprising video frames corresponding to an ordering of the imagery (e.g., from a start location to an end location) along the travel route, may be generated and/or played.

  • Publication number: 20160018951
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for populating a map interface with a contextual view portal and/or for tracking contextual information. In an example, a map interface may be populated with a map canvas depicting a first location according to a first view setting (e.g., a city level view providing relatively lower level of detail of a city). A contextual view portal, corresponding to an area within the first location, may be populated within the map interface such as overlaying the map canvas. The contextual view portal may depict imagery of the area according to a second view setting (e.g., a photorealistic view setting, an aerial view setting, a street-side view setting, etc.). A user may relocate the contextual view portal to view imagery of various areas. A task tracking interface may be populated with contextual information associated with an area depicted by the contextual view portal.
