Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to systems, methods and devices for replacing a static map image with an interactive map that approximates the geographic area depicted by the static map image. A static image may be inspected and a determination may be made as to whether the static image meets a map identification threshold value. At least one signal associated with the static image may be evaluated and based on that evaluation at least one geo-entity of intent may be identified. The static image may be replaced with a static image corresponding to at least one of the identified geo-entities of intent.
