Abstract:
Systems and methods for displaying imagery of a geographic area are provided. More particularly, a location selector interface element can be displayed in conjunction with the imagery when a continuous zoom event is detected. In response to the continuous zoom event, the location selector interface element can be displayed in conjunction with, for instance, a zoom interface for zooming the imagery. The location selector interface element can include a plurality of geographic labels. Each geographic label can be associated with a different zoom level of the imagery. Each geographic label can provide a description of a geographic area corresponding to the zoom level associated with the geographic label. A user can interact with the location selector interface element to select a desired zoom level for viewing the imagery. In response to the user interaction, the imagery can be zoomed to the zoom level corresponding to the selected geographic label.
