Abstract
Techniques for navigating a real world via interactive maps are disclosed. According one aspect, at least one or more databases are maintained in one or more servers. A computing device is caused to display a first portion of the interactive map generated from a logic process based on a first database, wherein the first portion of the interactive map represents a first part of a real world (e.g., a shopping mall) and includes one or more nodes, one or more branches, and one or more of hotspots in the real world, each of the hotspots represents a point of interest that is selectable to show details about the point of interest. Auxiliary data associated with the each of the hotspots is accessed when the user selects one of the hotspots, and subsequently displayed to show a visual effect about the hotspot so that the user understands more about the hotspot.
