Systems and methods for optimizing issue reporting in a navigation environment are provided. In example embodiments, a networked system causes presentation of a navigation user interface on a user device of a user, whereby the navigation user interface includes a route being navigated and navigation instructions. The networked system also causes presentation of one or more issue icons on the user device, whereby each issue icon represents a different type of issue to be reported. A selection of an issue icon from the one or more issue icons is received by the networked system. In response to receiving the selection of the issue icon, the networked system infers a location associated with the issue. The networked system updates a database with the issue and the inferred location. In some embodiments, the database is updated after the inferred location or the issue is verified.

Display screen with graphical user interface

The disclosed technology includes switching between a normal or standard-lens UI and a panoramic or wide-angle photography UI responsive to a zoom gesture. In one implementation, a user gesture corresponding to a 'zoom-out' command, when received at a mobile computing device associated with a minimum zoom state, may trigger a switch from a standard lens photo capture UI to a wide-angle photography UI. In another implementation, a user gesture corresponding to a 'zoom-in' command, when received at a mobile computing device associated with a nominal wide-angle state, may trigger a switch from a wide-angle photography UI to a standard lens photo capture UI.

Display screen with animated graphical icon

Systems and methods facilitating the capture of contiguous images suitable for composition into a wide-angle or panoramic image. The method may include displaying smart graphical targets on an image capture graphical user interface representing target focal points to direct a camera to in order capture images with sufficient continuity or overlap for panorama creation. In one implementation, the method may include automatically capturing an image when the center of the current field of view is aligned with or within a threshold distance of a target focal point. In another implementation, the method may provide graphical targets along multiple axes. In another implementation the method may provide graphical targets for creating a panoramic image adhering to a certain aspect ratio. In another implementation, the method may suggest graphical targets on the motion of a camera after capturing a first image.

Smart targets facilitating the capture of contiguous images

A computing device is described that outputs, for display at a display device, a graphical user interface including a graphical zoom indicator associated with a zoom operation of a camera. The graphical zoom indicator includes an inner fixed circle, an outer fixed circle, and an adjustable circle. The computing device receives an indication of an input detected at an input device, and based at least in part on the indication of the input, the computing device determines an adjustment to a zoom level of the zoom operation of the camera. Based at least in part on the adjustment to the zoom level of the zoom operation of the camera, the computing device updates the graphical user interface to modify a size of the adjustable circle based at least in part on the adjustment to the zoom level of the zoom operation of the camera.
