METHODS, ELECTRONIC DEVICES, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR PROVIDING GEOGRAPHICAL PRESENCE USING MAP TILES

摘要

An electronic device is operated by determining an approximate geographic location of the electronic device, determining a zoom level for a geographic map tile that encompasses the approximate geographic location, determining horizontal and vertical coordinates for the geographic map tile based on the zoom level and the approximate geographic location of the electronic device, and sending the horizontal and vertical coordinates and zoom level to another device as a geographic presence indicator for the electronic device. Related electronic devices and computer program products are also provided.
