Publication number: 20160350331Abstract: Location information is used to build a database of locations having associated audio, video, image, or text data. In some implementations, a device includes a touch-sensitive display and collects data associated with a geographic location of interest. The geographic location of interest can be displayed on a map using an indicator. A touch selection of the indicator provides access to the data through an interface displayed on the touch-sensitive display. One or more locations of interest can be displayed and grouped together by an attribute.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2016Publication date: December 1, 2016Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Scott Forstall, Gregory N.
