User-driven navigation in a map navigation tool

摘要

A map navigation tool presents directions using a map navigation user interface that simplifies navigation in various ways. In particular, a user-driven navigation model simplifies user interaction with the map navigation tool. For example, the map navigation tool identifies an upcoming list item among multiple list items of a list of directions for a route. The map navigation tool receives a user input event. For example, the user input event represents a tap on a touchscreen of the computing device, voice input to a microphone of the computing device, or button or keystroke input to the computing device. Responsive to the user input event, the map navigation tool outputs an indication of the upcoming list item.

主权项

1. In a computing device that implements a map navigation tool, a method comprising:
with the computing device that implements the map navigation tool, identifying an upcoming list item among multiple list items of a list of directions for a route, the list of directions including the multiple list items in an order; with the computing device that implements the map navigation tool, receiving a user input event; with the computing device that implements the map navigation tool, responsive to the user input event, outputting an indication of the upcoming list item; with the computing device that implements the map navigation tool, based at least in part on a change to current location of the computing device, changing the upcoming list item; and with the computing device that implements the map navigation tool, delaying outputting an indication of the changed upcoming list item until receipt of a subsequent user input event.
