Abstract: Many applications provide a map to a user. The user may activate a location on the map in order to see street-level images of the activated location. When the user activates the location to view the street-level images, a second map may be shown to the user, along with the street-level images. Any contextual information, such as search results, contacts, favorites, and/or other types of information may be included on the second map, so that the user can see this contextual information while viewing the street-level images. The user may activate different items of contextual information, thereby being able to move from a street-level image of one location to a street-level image of another location.

Abstract: Map multi-search architecture that enables users to multi-task on the mapping engine website. A card interaction model enables the creation of new cards for new tasks and from which users can retrieve previous results without needing to redo the search task. One or more cards can be retrieved by scrolling through and selecting the desires card(s). Point-of-interest (POI) capabilities of the architecture introduce different POI colors, POI sizes, and a decay model which enables users to differentiate between different sets of results and furthermore, enables users to see the proximity of different sets of results. The POI system enables differentiated POI sets for different sets of search results and/or detail cards.

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.
