Computer-readable media and methods for generating a geospatial image map

1. A computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, the computer-readable instructions configured to instruct one or more processors to:

display a map of a selected geographic region on an electronic display, the map including geographic sub-regions displayed within the map;

select discrete images based on the displayed geographic sub-regions, a user selected subject matter for a collage of images, and a user selected priority filter for a ranking associated with the user selected subject matter; and

display the discrete images at the same time on the electronic display as an overlay to the map, wherein each discrete image is overlaid in a corresponding geographic sub-region of the displayed geographic sub-regions.

2. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the computer-readable instructions are configured to instruct the one or more processors to pre-process at least one of the discrete images to fit its corresponding one of the geographic sub-regions.

3. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the computer-readable instructions are configured to instruct the one or more processors to pre-process at least one of the discrete images to adjust dimensions of the at least one of the discrete images to fill out a majority of an internal area of its corresponding one of the geographic sub-regions.

4. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the computer-readable instructions are configured to instruct the one or more processors to fill a remaining space around at least one of the discrete images within its corresponding one of the geographic sub-regions with a background that distinguishes the background from the at least one of the discrete images by at least one of a color or a design that contrasts with the at least one of the discrete images.

5. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the computer-readable instructions are configured to instruct the one or more processors to at least one of zoom in a display of the map or zoom out the display of the map responsive to user inputs.

6. The computer-readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the computer-readable instructions are configured to instruct the one or more processors to re-populate the map with more discrete images responsive to a zoom in of the display of the map.

7. The computer-readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the computer-readable instructions are configured to instruct the one or more processors to alter the geographic sub-regions displayed within the map responsive to one or more of a zoom in or a zoom out of the map.

8. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the selected geographic region is a nation and the geographic sub-regions are states of the nation.

9. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the selected geographic region is a state and the geographic sub-regions are counties of the state.

10. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the selected geographic region is a county and the geographic sub-regions are cities of the county.

11. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the computer-readable instructions are configured to instruct the one or more processors to:

generate a request to generate a collage including the discrete images to be transmitted to a management server; and

display the collage received from the management server as the overlay to the map.

12. A method of providing geographic information, the method comprising:

displaying a map of a selected geographic region on an electronic display;

displaying geographic sub-regions of the selected geographic region on the map;

selecting discrete images based on the displayed geographic sub-regions, a user selected subject matter for a collage of images, and a user selected priority filter for a ranking associated with the user selected subject matter; and

displaying the discrete images simultaneously on the electronic display as an overlay to the map, wherein each discrete image is overlaid in a corresponding geographic sub-region of the displayed geographic sub-regions.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising receiving one or more user inputs indicating the selected geographic region.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising receiving one or more user inputs indicating the user selected subject matter for the collage of images.

15. The method of claim 12 , further comprising requesting the discrete images from a management server.

16. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

displaying one or more zoom elements;

zooming the map at least one of in or out responsive to user interactions with the one or more zoom elements; and

displaying updated discrete images responsive to the zooming, at least one of the updated discrete images different from the discrete images.

17. The method of claim 12 , further comprising displaying a topic input field configured to receive one or more user inputs indicating the user selected subject matter for the collage of images.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein displaying the topic input field includes providing the user selected subject matter for the collage of images.

19. The method of claim 12 , wherein displaying the discrete images comprises displaying the discrete images received from a management server.
