Abstract

A digital map of a geographic area is displayed in a map sheet in a software application executing on a portable device. Several individually selectable location indicators are displayed over the digital map in the map sheet. In response to a first one of the several location indicators being selected on the map sheet, an informational sheet related to the selected location indicator is generated, where the informational sheet occludes a portion of the map sheet. In response to a gesture applied to the informational sheet, (a) a selection of a second one of the several location indicators is automatically indicated on the map sheet, and (b) the informational sheet is updated to display information related to the newly selected location indicator.
