Problem reporting in maps

Abstract

For a mapping application, a method for reporting a problem related to a map displayed by the mapping application is described. The method identifies a mode in which the mapping application is operating. The method identifies a set of types of problems to report based on the identified mode. The method displays, in a display area of the mapping application, a graphical user interface (GUI) page that includes a set of selectable user interface (UI) items that represent the identified set of types of problems.

         2 . A method performed by a mobile device, the method comprising:
 identifying a route between a starting location and a destination location, the route comprising a first maneuver and a second maneuver;   in response to a request to start navigating the identified route, presenting a graphical user interface that includes a first display area for presenting textual navigation instructions and a second display area for presenting a map, including:
 presenting in the first display area a first textual navigation instruction that describes the first maneuver of the route, and 
 presenting in the second display area a first map region corresponding to the first maneuver described in the first display area; 
   receiving, through a display of the mobile device, touch input with respect to the first display area; and   in response to the touch input:
 presenting in the first display area a second textual navigation instruction that describes the second maneuver of the route, and 
 presenting in the second display area a second map region corresponding to the second maneuver described in the first display area. 
   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein receiving the touch input comprises detecting a tap touch gesture with respect to the first display area on the display of the mobile device. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein receiving the touch input comprises detecting a swipe touch gesture with respect to the first display area on the display of the mobile device. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the second display area includes a map drawing of a portion of the route corresponding to a particular maneuver represented in the first display area. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the second maneuver is different than the first maneuver and the second map region is different than the first map region. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 presenting in the first display area a directional arrow illustrating the particular maneuver described by the textual navigation instructions presented in the first display area.   
     
     
         8 . A non-transitory computer readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to perform operations comprising:
 identifying a route between a starting location and a destination location, the route comprising a first maneuver and a second maneuver;   in response to a request to start navigating the identified route, presenting a graphical user interface that includes a first display area for presenting textual navigation instructions and a second display area for presenting a map, including:
 presenting in the first display area a first textual navigation instruction that describes the first maneuver of the route, and 
 presenting in the second display area a first map region corresponding to the first maneuver described in the first display area; 
   receiving, through a display of the mobile device, touch input with respect to the first display area; and   in response to the touch input:
 presenting in the first display area a second textual navigation instruction that describes the second maneuver of the route, and 
 presenting in the second display area a second map region corresponding to the second maneuver described in the first display area. 
   
     
     
         9 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 8 , wherein receiving the touch input comprises detecting a tap touch gesture with respect to the first display area on the display of the mobile device. 
     
     
         10 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 8 , wherein receiving the touch input comprises detecting a swipe touch gesture with respect to the first display area on the display of the mobile device. 
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 8 , wherein the second display area includes a map drawing of a portion of the route corresponding to a particular maneuver represented in the first display area. 
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 8 , wherein the second maneuver is different than the first maneuver and the second map region is different than the first map region. 
     
     
         13 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 presenting in the first display area a directional arrow illustrating the particular maneuver described by the textual navigation instructions presented in the first display area.   
     
     
         14 . A system comprising:
 one or more processors; and   a non-transitory computer readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the processors to perform operations comprising:
 identifying a route between a starting location and a destination location, the route comprising a first maneuver and a second maneuver; 
 in response to a request to start navigating the identified route, presenting a graphical user interface that includes a first display area for presenting textual navigation instructions and a second display area for presenting a map, including:
 presenting in the first display area a first textual navigation instruction that describes the first maneuver of the route, and 
 presenting in the second display area a first map region corresponding to the first maneuver described in the first display area; 
 
 receiving, through a display of the mobile device, touch input with respect to the first display area; and 
 in response to the touch input:
 presenting in the first display area a second textual navigation instruction that describes the second maneuver of the route, and 
 presenting in the second display area a second map region corresponding to the second maneuver described in the first display area. 
 
   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein receiving the touch input comprises detecting a tap touch gesture with respect to the first display area on the display of the mobile device. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein receiving the touch input comprises detecting a swipe touch gesture with respect to the first display area on the display of the mobile device. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the second display area includes a map drawing of a portion of the route corresponding to a particular maneuver represented in the first display area. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the second maneuver is different than the first maneuver and the second map region is different than the first map region. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 presenting in the first display area a directional arrow illustrating the particular maneuver described by the textual navigation instructions presented in the first display area.
