A request for directions for traveling to a destination is received via a user interface of a user device, where a mode of transport is not selected via the user interface. A current geographic context of the user device is determined, and suggested mode of transport for travelling to the destination is determined based on the current geographic context. Directions for travelling to the destination using the suggested mode of transport are obtained and provided via the user interface of the user device.

Systems and methods for suggesting mode of transport in a geographic application

An electronic device comprising a touchscreen and an LED may be operable to illuminate the LED in response to an event occurring on the electronic device. In response to an input from a user of the electronic device, the electronic device may display on the touchscreen an animation of a graphical representation of the LED moving onto the touchscreen to a target location on the touchscreen. During the animation, the graphical representation of the LED may be the only thing displayed on the touchscreen. The graphical representation of the LED may be the same color as the LED. A color of the LED may correspond to a contact stored on the phone that is associated with the event.
