Abstract
This application is directed to a geographic information display method. While a first mobile device is executing an instant messaging application, it obtains its own geographic location information, a second mobile device's geographic location information, and a first timestamp at which the geographic location information is recorded. The first mobile device then displays a map associated with the first timestamp on a user interface. The displayed map includes two marks that represent the locations of the first and second mobile devices, respectively, and instant messages exchanged between these two mobile devices are displayed on the map adjacent to the two marks. As the first mobile device obtains geographic location information in association with a second timestamp, it updates the displayed map to reflect variations of the locations of the mobile devices, while the mark corresponding to the first mobile device is displayed at a fixed location on the user interface.
