Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to exploring a geographic region that is displayed in computer user interfaces. In some embodiments, a method includes at an electronic device with a display and one or more input devices, displaying a map of a geographic region on the display and detecting a first user input to select a starting location on the map. After detecting the first user input, the method includes detecting a second user input to select a first direction of navigation from the starting location. In response to detecting the second user input, the method includes determining a path on the map that traverses in the first direction of navigation and connects the starting location to an ending location, and providing audio that includes traversal information about traversing along the path in the geographic region in the first direction of navigation and from the starting location to the ending location.
