Benefits of technology

The map application of this patent helps users to plan for a transit trip based on their location. It first identifies the user's device and calculates the distance between their location and the first transit station. If the user is far from the station, the application suggests when they should start the trip. If they are close to the station, it shows when the first vehicle will leave. This technology helps users get to their destinations more easily and efficiently.

Problems solved by technology

Despite their popularity, these mapping and navigation applications have yet to provide a comprehensive and efficient transit routing and navigation system.

Embodiment Construction

[0080]In the following detailed description of the invention, numerous details, examples, and embodiments of the invention are set forth and described. However, it will be clear and apparent to one skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the embodiments set forth and that the invention may be practiced without some of the specific details and examples discussed.

[0081]Some embodiments of the invention provide a map application that provides a comprehensive and efficient transit navigation modality for planning a transit trip by browsing and selecting a transit route and navigating the selected transit route. The map application of some embodiments operates in a map-browsing mode to allow a user to browse a map of a locality and to perform searches for map locations based on addresses, names (e.g., people, businesses, etc.) or other search parameters. The map application of some such embodiments also has a navigation mode that includes a driving navigation mode to prov...

Abstract

Some embodiments provide a map application that receives a starting location and a destination location. The application then identifies several different transit routes from the starting location to the destination location based on a set of transit preferences. Each transit route includes a set of transit legs each of which is serviced by a different transit line. In some embodiments, the application ranks the identified transit routes based on a set of criteria, and displays a representation of a highest ranked transit route over a portion of a map presentation along with a set of information about the displayed transit route.
