Typically, users click or otherwise show interest in a particular geographic region on a map to indicate their desire to center and/or zoom in on that location. However, it is more likely that a user has a higher interest in popular points of interest in a region than with a point of selection on a map. By employing popularity map data, the map navigation can be biased towards popular points of interest relative to a user's selection. This allows users to more effectively navigate through maps, rather than through trial and error selections based solely on geography. Some instances utilize weighting of popularity points to determine an offset distance from a user's selection. Other instances can employ a most popular point nearest a user's selection as a bias point. Included popularity points for biasing can be determined based on a percentage of a visualized map image presented to a user.
