Abstract
The invention is a user interface for browsing a database of media that is tagged by geographic location information including photos, videos, and panoramas. Interchangeable panels are used for determining query constraints and viewing query results, grid-aligned media dots indicate how many media should be associated with a location on a map, and a reflective UI shows how query constraints and query results are related through cursor interaction.
