<p>One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for exposing one or more points of interest (POI) through a visual interface, such as a map. For example, the visual interface may correspond to a location displayed at a first level of detail (e.g., a state level of granularity). One or more points of interest (e.g., coffee shops within the state) may be clustered to generate one or more clustering halos (e.g., a first clustering halo comprising coffee shops within a city, i.e. multiple POI are graphically represented by a single graphical item), which may be populated within the visual interface. The visual interface may be transitioned or zoomed into various levels of detail, such as a first transitioned visual interface comprising points of interest at a city level, a second transitioned visual interface comprising points of interest at a building/street level of detail, etc. Portals corresponding to points of interest may be hydrated with imagery for such points of interest, i.e. symbols of portals may be filled with images of POI.</p> |
