  • Publication number: 20240103709
    Abstract: A device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface: displays a geographic map in a first mode of an application, the geographic map including a plurality of landmarks, the geographic map being displayed at a first magnification level; detects a first input, the first input including a first finger contact at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a first landmark on the display; in response to detecting the first input: when the first input does not satisfy one or more predefined mode-change conditions, changes the magnification level in accordance with the first input and remains in the first mode; and when the first input satisfies the mode-change conditions, selects the first landmark and enters a second mode of the application; while in the second mode, detects a second input; and, in response to detecting the second input, displays information about the first landmark.

  • Patent number: 9208698
    Abstract: An electronic device displays on a display a first three-dimensional map view of a respective map location. The first three-dimensional map view is viewed from a first angle while an orientation of the electronic device corresponds to a first orientation. The electronic device detects a rotation of the electronic device with at least one orientation sensor, and determines a respective orientation of the electronic device. The respective orientation is distinct from the first orientation. While detecting the rotation of the electronic device, the electronic device updates the first three-dimensional map view with a respective three-dimensional map view of the respective map location. The respective three-dimensional map view is viewed from a respective angle distinct from the first angle. The respective angle is determined in accordance with the respective orientation of the electronic device.
