More Information
Summary:The present disclosure relates to devices and user interfaces for orienting a camera view toward surfaces in a 3D map. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to devices and methods that determine a zoom level associated with a 3D scene and 3D geometry of a map feature with the 3D scene and orient a 3D cursor to a surface of the map feature based on the zoom level and the 3D geometry when a user moves the 3D cursor over the map feature. When a user selects a point within the 3D geometry of the map feature, the 3D map is re-oriented with a view of the surface of the map feature.
