Abstract

The claimed subject matter provides a method and system for generating a map. An exemplary method includes selecting a media item from a plurality of media items. The media item may be relevant to the map and to an interest of a user. The method also includes selecting a segment from the media item, the selected segment being relevant to the interest of the user. Additionally, the method includes creating a distorted segment based on the selected segment. The selected segment may be distorted to facilitate positioning the distorted segment in the map. The method further includes compositing the distorted segment into the map as a media icon.

Description

Background technique [0001] digitally Figure 1 Generally represent the true interpretation of basic geography. One method used by the web service shows a map consisting of aerial photographs. Detailed features such as terrain, building textures, and relative location of geography can be represented in a realistic view of the map. Unfortunately, the amount of detail shown in such maps can be overwhelming. Sufficiency of detail can obscure information about the exact viewer of the map. Additionally, maps may not prove useful to users interested in data related to specific places or events. [0002] Other types of maps represent points of potential interest to the user as icons that stand out from surrounding details. Although such maps may show relative locations of points of interest, it may still be difficult for a user to easily locate the physical location corresponding to the icon on the map. Contents of the invention [0003] The following presents a simplified ove...
