  • Patent number: 10506393
    Abstract: A system and method are provided that display search results and user location on a map. A floor selector interface may be displayed with the map. The floor selector interface may include one or more floor selectors, each of which correspond to a floor in a multi-story building. Upon selection of a floor selector, first search result and location indicators may be displayed transparently or semi-transparently to indicate whether the user or the search results are on the selected floor. If the user or the search results are on a non-selected floor, such indicators may be displayed differently, such as with a different transparency. The floor selector interface may also include second search result and location identifiers. Such second identifiers may be displayed at particular floor selectors corresponding to the present elevation of the user and search results, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9151627
    Abstract: To provide navigation directions in mapping applications, an indication of a geographic location and an indication of a map viewport that includes the geographic location are received. Several candidate starting points from which people are more likely to access the geographic location than from other locations within the map viewport are identified. A starting point is selected from among the several candidate starting points, and navigation directions for guiding a user of the user device from the starting point toward the geographic location are generated for display on the user device.

  • Publication number: 20150160031
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a method for modifying a geographic route from a starting location to a destination location can include, responsive to a search query, presenting a graphical user interface including a depiction of a route including a series plurality of sequential maneuvers from the starting location to the destination location, where at least one of the series plurality of sequential maneuvers is associated with one or more selectable visual attributes that correspond with static or real-time conditions. The method can also include, automatically retrieving a refined route upon a selection of a first selectable visual attribute of the one or more selectable visual attributes, the refined route having a maneuver of the plurality of sequential maneuvers corresponding with the first selectable visual attribute replaced with one or more different maneuvers and, upon automatically retrieving the refined route, presenting the refined route in the graphical user interface.
