Apparatus, method and computer program for displaying points of interest
An apparatus, method, computer program and user interface where the apparatus includes at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code; wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, enable the apparatus to: display a perspective view of a geographical location at a first scale in a first region of a display; identify a point of interest associated with the geographical location; and display the identified point of interest at a second scale in a second region of the display.
1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code;
wherein the at least one non-transitory memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, enable the apparatus to:
display a perspective view of a geographical location at a first scale in a first region of a display;
identify a point of interest associated with the geographical location and display a perspective view of the identified point of interest at the first scale in the first region of the display; and
simultaneously display the identified point of interest at a second scale in a second region of the display.
2. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein identifying a point of interest comprises selecting a point of interest from a plurality of available points of interest.
3. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein identifying the point of interest comprises using a weighting algorithm to determine a point of interest relevant to a user of the apparatus.
4. An apparatus as claimed in claim 3 wherein the weighting algorithm uses previous activity by the user of the apparatus to determine a point of interest relevant to a user of the apparatus.
5. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the point of interest is identified automatically.
6. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the point of interest comprises at least one alphanumeric character.
7. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the second scale is larger than the first scale.
8. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the identified point of interest is displayed in perspective view of a geographical location at a first scale in a first region of a display and at a second scale in a second region of the display.
9. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein an indicator is displayed to indicate the location of the identified point of interest relative to the perspective view.
10. A method comprising:
displaying, by an apparatus, a perspective view of a geographical location at a first scale in a first region of a display;
identifying, by the apparatus, a point of interest associated with the geographical location and displaying a perspective view of the identified point of interest at the first scale in the first region of the display; and
simultaneously displaying by the apparatus, the identified point of interest at a second scale in a second region of the display.
11. A method as claimed in claim 10 wherein identifying a point of interest comprises selecting a point of interest from a plurality of available points of interest.
12. A method as claimed in claim 10 wherein identifying the point of interest comprises using a weighting algorithm to determine a point of interest relevant to a user of the display.
13. A method as claimed in claim 12 wherein the weighting algorithm uses previous activity by the user of the apparatus to determine a point of interest relevant to a user of the display.
14. A method as claimed in claim 10 wherein the point of interest is identified automatically by the apparatus.
15. A method as claimed in claim 10 wherein the point of interest being displayed comprises at least one alphanumeric character.
16. A method as claimed in claim 10 wherein the apparatus displays the second scale is larger than the first scale.
17. A method as claimed in claim 10 wherein the identified point of interest is displayed in perspective view of a geographical location at a first scale in a first region of a display and at a second scale in a second region of the display.
18. A method as claimed in claim 10 wherein an indicator is displayed to indicate the location of the identified point of interest relative to the perspective view.
19. A non-transitory physical entity embodying a computer program comprising computer program instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause an apparatus at least to perform:
displaying a perspective view of a geographical location at a first scale in a first region of a display;
identifying a point of interest associated with the geographical location and displaying a perspective view of the identified point of interest at the first scale in the first region of the display; and
simultaneously displaying the identified point of interest at a second scale in a second region of the display.
20. A physical entity embodying a computer program comprising program instructions for causing a computer to perform the method of claim 10 .
