Abstract

A method comprising:
presenting a three-dimensional environment, comprising routes, to a user by using a selected one of a plurality of perspective views of the environment that corresponds to a current position on a current route; detecting a gesture user input comprising a characteristic that changes in time, and changing the current position on the current route to a new position on a route in response to the gesture user input wherein a first characteristic of the gesture user input determines a direction along the current route of the new position relative to the current position and a second characteristic of the gesture user input determines the new position; and presenting the three-dimensional environment, comprising routes, to the user by using a newly selected one of the plurality of perspective views of the environment that corresponds to the new position.

First claim

I claim:

1. A method comprising:
causing display of a selected one of a plurality of perspective views of an environment that corresponds to a current position on a current route;
receiving an indication of a gesture user input, wherein the gesture user input is continuous and comprises at least two characteristics, each characteristic having a different associated direction of movement of the gesture user input across a display, and wherein the gesture user input indicates a ne…
