Abstract

Computer-implemented methods and systems for selectively providing an interactive digital mapping application in a limited bandwidth environment include providing for display on a display of a computing device a three-dimensional representation of a geographic area viewed by a user of an interactive digital mapping application. Download information can be provided for display in the interactive digital mapping application, including a quantifiable parameter (e.g., download size, time, or cost) associated with downloading one or more versions of imagery corresponding to the three-dimensional representation. User instructions requesting that one or more versions of the imagery corresponding to the three-dimensional representation be downloaded for display can be received. The one or more requested versions of the images corresponding to the 3D representation can be downloaded and provided for display.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to digital map applications, and more particularly to selective incorporation of imagery in low bandwidth digital map applications. Background technique [0002] Computerized methods and systems for displaying images, particularly panoramic images, are known. In the context (context) of geographic information systems and digital mapping systems, services such as Google Maps can provide street-level imagery of geographic locations. The imagery (eg, called "street view" on Google Maps) typically provides an immersive 360° panoramic view centered on the geographic area of ​​interest. The panorama view allows a user to view a geographic location from a human perspective as if the user were located at street level or ground level associated with the geographic location. [0003] In some implementations, when a user of a mapping service or other application chooses to view street-level imagery, a client device (e.g....
