Navigation images

摘要

A computer-implemented navigational method includes transmitting, from a mobile computing device to a computer server system, data that can be used to determine a start point and an end point of a trip. The method also includes receiving navigational information defining a route between the start point and the end point, and a plurality of digital photographic images that have previously been taken along the route, sensing motion of the mobile computing device along the route, and displaying updated images from the plurality of images that substantially match a geographic position of the mobile computing device along the route.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving, by a computing device, navigational information that defines a route; sensing motion of the computing device along the route; displaying, based on the sensed motion of the computing device along the route, overhead map or satellite images that correspond to respective locations of the computing device along the route; identifying a current traveling speed of the computing device along the route; determining that the current traveling speed of the computing device is less than a threshold traveling speed; and in response to determining that the current traveling speed of the computing device is less than the threshold traveling speed, causing the computing device to change from (a) displaying the overhead map or satellite images that correspond to the respective locations of the computing device along the route to (b) displaying one or more digital photographic images that were captured at street level and that correspond to one or more locations of the computing device along the route.
