  • Patent number: 10115179
    Abstract: A map interface presents a geographic map with markers identifying geographic locations associated with content items. When the geographic distance between two or more content items is less than a threshold distance, multiple content items are grouped to create an aggregated content item. Based on the geographic locations associated with the grouped content items, a geographic location is associated with the aggregated content item. A single marker identifies the geographic location for the aggregated content item on the geographic map. When a user viewing the map interface accesses the single marker, content selected from the content items combined to generated the aggregated content item is presented as well as the geographic location associated with the aggregated content item.

  • Patent number: 9712473
    Abstract: Methods, system, and user interfaces for providing a user interface enabling community-based map functionalities for users of a social networking system are described. One method includes providing a user interface (UI) that includes a geographic map portion and a rating portion. The geographic map portion depicts a geographic area and includes a set of location identifiers, and the rating portion includes a set of rating list elements. Each rating list element includes a rating input UI element allowing the user to rate a location that the social networking system has determined that the user has visited. The method also includes receiving a first rating for a first location, which is generated through use of the rating portion. The method further includes, responsive to said receiving of the first rating, modifying the user interface to indicate that the first rating was received.
