To provide information about geographic locations, an interactive 3D display of geolocated imagery is provided via a user interface of a computing device. A view of the geolocated imagery is generated from a perspective of a notational camera having a particular camera pose, where the camera pose is associated with at least position and orientation. A selection of a location within the interactive display is received via the user interface, and a symbolic location corresponding to the selected location is automatically identified, where at least textual information is available for the symbolic location. Automatically and without further input via the user interface, (i) the notational camera is moved toward the selected location, and (ii) overlaid textual description of the symbolic location that includes a link to additional information related to the symbolic location is provided. |

1. A method in a computing device for providing information about geographic locations, the method comprising:
providing, using one or more processors, an interactive three-dimensional (3D) display of geolocated imagery for a geographic area via a user interface of the computing device, including generating a view of the geolocated imagery from a perspective of a notional camera having a particular camera pose, wherein the camera pose is associated with at least position and orientation; receiving, via the user interface, a selection of a location within the interactive display; automatically identifying a symbolic location corresponding to the selected location, wherein at least textual information is available for the symbolic location; automatically and without further input via the user interface, (i) moving the notional camera so as to directly face the selected location, and (ii) providing overlaid textual description of the symbolic location that includes a link to additional information related to the symbolic location. |
