Abstract: Various embodiments enable a user to capture an image of a map, such as a map of a municipal or amusement park, mall, golf course, or the like, using a camera of a computing device to geocode features of the map that may not be available for display through a native mapping application. For example, a park map may show walking trails, vista points, restrooms, playgrounds, or other locations of interest, which may not be represented by the mapping application. Accordingly, once these previously unrepresented features are associated with a particular location, they can be represented within a map of a native mapping application of the user's computing device, thereby, enabling the user to see their location within the map relative to these features and navigate through the park using the same.

Abstract: A computing device can receive, from a map search system and in response to a map search query, map data that describes a geographic region. Each map label includes one or more text characters. A respective bounding box for each map label that is defined by an aspect ratio having a width and a height can be generated. The width of the bounding box is twice that of the height of the bounding box and an area for the bounding box is the same as an area for the map label. Map labels can be selected for display in an interactive geographic map. The interactive geographic map that displays the selected map labels that each describes a feature that is located in the geographic region can be generated. Each selected map label is enclosed by a respective bounding box for the map label.

Abstract: A computing device can present a map of a geographic region. The computing device can determine that a user operating the computing device has performed a particular action. The particular action can be, for example, a particular gesture. The computing device can determine that a distance between the user's face and the display screen of the computing device is within a threshold distance. If the user's face is within a threshold distance of the display screen, the map can be displayed in a dynamic view mode. While in the dynamic view mode, the map for the geographic region includes at least one additional map label for a feature that is located in the geographic region and navigation of the rendered map is disabled.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable a user to navigate within an application where features of the navigation vary depending on a context of the user or particular features of the application. For example, a user could request directions, in a turn-by-turn mode of the computing device, to a destination. Accordingly, mapping information for a region and a route to the destination through the region can be displayed. Along with the mapping information, a navigation element can be displayed that enables the user to navigate through the mapping information. In one example, the navigation element is displayed off-center from the mapping information such that it does not obscure the mapping information while the user provides touch inputs to navigate within the same.
