Abstract: A mapping API provides a digital map via a user interface of a computing device. When invoked by a software application, the mapping API is configured to receive an identifier of a user operating the software application, provide a first interactive digital map including a representation of a certain geographic area for display by the software application, where the first interactive digital map is personalizable via the software application, receive personalization content from the user via the software application, and cause a second digital map including a representation of the geographic area, when provided to the same user, to be modified in view of the personalization content, where the first digital map and the second digital map are created independently.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying imagery of a geographic area are provided. More particularly, a location selector interface element can be displayed in conjunction with the imagery when a continuous zoom event is detected. In response to the continuous zoom event, the location selector interface element can be displayed in conjunction with, for instance, a zoom interface for zooming the imagery. The location selector interface element can include a plurality of geographic labels. Each geographic label can be associated with a different zoom level of the imagery. Each geographic label can provide a description of a geographic area corresponding to the zoom level associated with the geographic label. A user can interact with the location selector interface element to select a desired zoom level for viewing the imagery. In response to the user interaction, the imagery can be zoomed to the zoom level corresponding to the selected geographic label.

Abstract: Provided is a process for personalizing an interactive map that includes the following: receiving a user request to view an interactive map; determining a map extent responsive to the request; obtaining a profile of the user; personalizing, with a computer, an interactive map based on the profile; and presenting the personalized map to the user. Personalizing includes determining whether to depict geographic features within the map extent in the personalized map based on the profile, and formatting a depiction of the features to have, for each respective feature, a prominence determined based on the profile.
