Representation of overlapping visual entities

摘要

Various embodiments present a combined visual entity that represents overlapping visual entities. The combined visual entity can include a primary visualization that represents one of the overlapping visual entities and annotations that represent others of the overlapping visual entities. For example, a map view can include multiple geographical entities that overlap. A primary visualization can be rendered that represents one of the multiple geographical entities. The primary visualization can be visually annotated (e.g., with symbols, letters, or other visual indicators) to indicate others of the multiple geographical entities. In some embodiments, a zoom operation can cause visual entities to be added and/or removed from the combined visual entity.

1. One or more computer readable storage media embodying one or more modules that are executable by at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:
rendering a two-dimensional approximation of a three-dimensional view of a travel route from a perspective of a traveler along the travel route; receiving an indication of a navigation to a particular location along the travel route; and causing a combined visual entity that represents multiple visual entities that occur adjacent to the location to be displayed as part of the two-dimensional approximation of the three-dimensional view of the travel route, the combined visual entity including a primary visualization that represents a single entity of the multiple visual entities, and one or more annotations at least partially visually overlaid on the primary visualization and that represent one or more other entities of the multiple visual entities.
