To navigate an electric vehicle from a starting location to a destination, a system identifies multiple charging stations between the starting location and the destination and determining a navigation route that requires a least amount of time for the electric vehicle to travel from the starting location to the destination via one or more of the charging stations, including determining a non-linear relationship between an amount of time and an amount of charge the EV receives during the amount of time.

As part of a technique for positioning viewports over interactive digital maps, a digital map of a geographic area is provided via a user interface of a computing device. The currently visible portion of the digital map is displayed in a viewport. A user gesture is detected, where the user gesture communicates a particular acceleration to the viewport, along a particular direction, to move the viewport from its current position to a target position over the digital map. A current user context for the digital map is determined. A new position of the viewport over the digital map is determined in accordance with (i) the user gesture and (ii) the current user context, such that the new position is different from the target position, and the viewport is moved from its current position to the new position.
