Abstract: Some embodiments provide a mapping application for generating views of a three-dimensional (3D) map. The mapping application includes a geographic data module for identifying 3D map data for a portion of a 3D map. The 3D map data includes (1) camera captured images (CCIs) of a portion of the real world that the portion of the 3D map represents, (2) a first set of map elements in the portion of the 3D map specified to be textured with CCIs, and (3) a second set of map elements in the portion of the 3D map specified to be textured with non-CCIs. The mapping application also includes a rendering engine for rendering a view of the 3D map by generating effects for several map elements in the 3D map in order to make the several map elements seem animated in the view of the 3D map.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine -readable medium that stores a mapping application which when executed on a device by at least one processing unit renders views of a three-dimensional (3D) map. The mapping application requests a first set of map tiles associated with a portion of the 3D map. In response to the request, the mapping application receives a second set of map tiles that does not include all the tiles in the first set of map tiles. For at least one tile in the first set of map tiles but not in the second set of map tiles, the mapping application generates a replacement map tile that includes geospatial data. The mapping application further renders the portion of the 3D map based on the second set of map tiles and the replacement map tile.

Abstract: With proliferation of mobile devices such as smartphones, users are enjoying numerous applications of numerous kinds that can be run on their devices. One popular type of such application is mapping and navigation applications that allow user to browse maps and get route directions. Despite their popularity, these mapping and navigation applications have shortcomings with their user interfaces and features that cause inconvenience to the users.
