Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for processing user search request information and for updating the presentation of a map based on the processed search request information. User search information may be associated with one or more locations shown by the map. Each location associated with the user search information may be highlighted on the map. As the user refines the user search information, the map may be automatically updated such that only the locations associated with the refined user search information may be highlighted. A textual list of location names associated with highlighted locations may be concurrently displayed with the map. When a user selects one of the names in the list, the highlighted location associated with that name may be visually distinguished from the other highlighted locations.
